Acc 403 Case
TUI University
Module 2 – Case Assignment
ACC 403 – Principles of Accounting
For this Case Assignment I will show prepared income statements for E-company utilizing both variable (contribution margin) and traditional (absorption margin) methods. I will also show E-company’s computed contribution margin ratio, gross profit ratio and operating (net) income ratios, as well as explain the difference and reconcile operating income for the two methods. Additionally, I will discuss which method I would recommend to the CFO and why.
