Assignment Overview
Preparation of an Income Statement for The Serious Reader Company
The first case of this course provides an opportunity to prepare a segmented variable costing (contribution margin, behavioral) income statement and analyze the information. This is a very small company and the information may seem simplistic at first glance. Don't forget that numbers and hands-on practice best illustrate many basic accounting concepts.
