Problem 1: Why does Green Valley show a provision for income taxes while the other two income statements do not?
Problem 2: What is GreenValley's total (profit) margin? How does this value compare with the values for Park Ridge Homecare Clinic and BestCare HMO?
Problem 3: The before-tax profit margin for GreenValley is operating income divided by total revenues. Calculate GreenValley's before-tax profit margin. Why may this be a better measure of expense control when comparing an investor-owned business with a not-for-profit business?
