This Week’s Detailed Case Study Information
Jackie has shared the most recent Statement of Income with you (see below). With her
accounting background, she found it easy to put it together. Kate, on the other hand,
struggles to make sense of it. While she understands what it takes to run the business, she is still
unsure about how the business is doing.
Kate has asked you to review the Statement of Income and prepare a presentation on the
state of the business. This presentation should include a year-over-year comparison of year 1
and year 2 and details on the bottom line (i.e. if the business is at a profit/loss and how much
money the business is making). Finally, both sisters would like you to provide a forecast for
year 3. What expenses can you expect to go up or down and by how much?
