THE INCOME STATEMENT
Before you start the assignment, test your understanding of concepts covered in the assignment. It is not a graded quiz, but a tool for reviewing some key points. The tool can be used multiple times.
The purpose of this SLP is to apply ratio analysis to assess the financial health of ABC Company. Use the income statement presented in the case during this module to compute general or overall profitability ratios. Compute three ratios using at least one of the income statement accounts for each ratio. Some profitability ratios include both income and balance sheet accounts. The balance sheet accounts are found in module 2.
Assume that ABC Company is a small specialty retail store. Ratios are relevant when assessed over time or across companies. IBIS is a comprehensive resource containing market research and statistics, which can be used to compare ABC Company to the industry and leaders in the industry.
1. Show the computation of the three ratios.
2. Comment on the purpose and information conveyed by each ratio.

THE INCOME STATEMENT
Before you start the assignment, test your understanding of
concepts covered in the assignment. It is not a graded quiz, but
a tool for reviewing some key points. The tool can be used
multiple times.
The purpose of this SLP is to apply ratio analysis to assess the
financial health of ABC Company. Use the income statement
presented in the case during this module to compute general or
overall profitability ratios. Compute three ratios using at least
one of the income statement accounts for each ratio. Some
profitability ratios include both income and balance sheet
accounts. The balance sheet accounts are found in module 2.
Assume that ABC Company is a small specialty retail store.
Ratios are relevant when assessed over time or across
companies. IBIS is a comprehensive resource containing market
research and statistics, which can be used to compare ABC
Company to the industry and leaders in the industry.
1. Show the computation of the three ratios.
2. Comment on the purpose and information conveyed by each
ratio.
3. What did you learn about ABC Company by reviewing the
three ratios?
4. What is your conclusion about the profitability of the
company?
5. How successful is ABC Company relative to the industry
average and leaders in the small specialty retail store industry?
Write two paragraphs or more. Include ratios found in the IBIS
database to support your conclusion.
The IBIS database is accessed through the Trident library. See
the steps below.
SLP Assignment Expectations
Show the formulas for the computations. Two to three sentences
are sufficient to respond to questions 1 through 4.

Module 3 - Case
THE INCOME STATEMENT
Assignment Overview
The background material for this module explains and shows
examples of income statements. Pay attention to the layout and
definitions of the income statement before reviewing the income
statement for ABC Company shown below.
Case Assignment
The background information for the module includes the basic
ideas, but for more ideas go to the optional background
source principlesofaccounting.com. The site also offers multiple
videos that you may find relevant. You may also use other sites
to for ideas to complete the table. Do not forget to reference the
sources used.
Answer the questions below and explain your answer with
numbers, computations, or a sentence or two.
1. Explain the term cost of sales in your own words. Is likely
that the balance sheet of this company includes inventory?
2. Gross profit (margin) is a key piece of financial information.
Why is it so important?
3. Explain operating expenses? What does the term mean?
4. Does ABC Company have any employees? Explain.
5. There is an error in the income statement. Property taxes are
overstated by $10,000. How is the income statement affected by
a correction of property taxes?
6. What happens to net income if the company hires a new
manager at a salary of $80,000?
7. Does the company own any equipment? Is it informative to
also check the balance sheet to answer this question? Explain.
6. 8. Does the company have debt? How much debt? Explain how
the income statement and balance sheet provide answers to the
questions?
9. How do we know that ABC Company is using the accrual
basis of accounting? Hint: Do not forget to look at the balance
sheet from the prior module.
10. What happens to income statement at the end of the period?
Is it continuous or does it close (terminate)?
Assignment Expectations
Respond to all questions showing your computations and/or
using your own words. Do not use an essay format.

64. · Record food items as completely as possible, listing separate
ingredients when indicated (e.g., don’t just write “sandwich”,
but include type of bread, filling, vegetables added, sauces and
condiments).
· Don’t forget beverages, including alcoholic beverages, sodas,
and water.
· Estimate the amounts or serving size you consume as closely
as possible in units, such as cups, ounces, teaspoons, and
teaspoons. (NOTE: “one serving”, “one bowl”, or “one piece”
are not acceptable units as they are subjective measures and
don’t relay quantifiable amounts.) You may want to measure
foods to obtain a more accurate estimate of quantity.
· When indicated, include preparation method or other details
that may help describe the food, for example: indicate whether a
chicken breast is baked, grilled, breaded, fried, etc. or whether
vegetables are raw, steamed, “Southern style”, sautéed, fried,
etc.
What Are the Key Principles of Healthy Eating? 41
Healthy Eating Means Consuming a Variety of Foods
Choosing a variety of foods improves the quality of the diet
because the more var-
ied the food choices, the better the chance of consuming
65. adequate amounts of all
the essential nutrients.2 Even within one food group, the
nutrient composition of
foods can vary dramatically. For example, while broccoli is a
good source of folate,
it has less than half the vitamin A of a carrot. Similarly, if the
only fruit you eat is
bananas, your diet would include an excellent source of
potassium, but could be low
in vitamin C. Because no single food or food group contains
everything you need to
be healthy, you should choose a variety of foods from within
each food group and
among food groups each day. This is the basic principle of the
Fruits & Veggies—More
Matters campaign developed by the Produce for Better Health
Foundation and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.3 This campaign
promotes eating a vari-
ety of colorful fruits and vegetables—which are rich in
vitamins, minerals, fiber, and
phytochemicals—each day to help reduce the risk of cancer and
heart disease and
slow the effects of aging.
Healthy Eating Means Moderate Intake of All Foods
According to many registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs),
“there are no good or bad
foods, just good or bad habits.” What they mean is that all
foods—even less nutritious
foods—can be part of a healthy diet, as long as they are
consumed in moderation. Foods
such as sweets and fried or packaged snack foods should be
eaten only in small amounts
to avoid consuming too much sugar and saturated fat, as well as
too many kilocalories.
66. Finally, these foods can displace more nutritious choices,
resulting in a diet that lacks
essential nutrients. Even some healthy foods, such as nutrient-
dense nuts, can be high
in kilocalories and should be consumed in moderation. Healthy
eating doesn’t mean you
can’t enjoy your favorite foods. It simply means eating those
foods in moderation by lim-
iting the portion size and number of servings you eat.
Many people overestimate the appropriate portion sizes of
foods. An entire body of
research is devoted to studying factors that affect how much we
put on our plates. The
important point is that, in general, we tend to consume portions
larger than necessary
to meet our kilocalorie needs. See the Health Connection on
pages 65–67 for examples
of visuals you can use to estimate portion sizes. For suggestions
on eating a balanced,
varied, and moderate diet, see the Table Tips.
Healthy Eating Includes Nutrient-Dense Foods
Healthy eating also means choosing foods that are nutrient
dense. Nutrient-dense foods
are high in nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, but low in
energy (kilocalories), pro-
viding more nutrients per kilocalorie (and in each bite) than less
nutrient-dense foods.4
Fresh fruits and vegetables, for example, are nutrient dense
because they are high in
B vitamins, vitamin C, and minerals such as calcium and
magnesium, as well as dietary
fiber, while usually providing fewer than 60 kilocalories per
serving.
67. Nutrient-dense foods are also low in saturated fat and added
sugars. To illustrate
this concept, compare the nutrient density of two versions of the
same food: a baked
potato and potato chips (Figure 2.1). Although a medium baked
potato and one ounce
of potato chips have about the same number of kilocalories, the
baked potato provides
much higher amounts of vitamins and minerals than the deep-
fried chips.
Though many foods, such as vegetables, are clearly nutrient
dense, and other foods,
such as candy, are clearly not, some foods do not fit neatly into
these two categories.
Items such as dried fruits, nuts, peanut butter, and avocados are
higher in kilocalories,
but they are also excellent sources of important nutrients,
including polyunsaturated
fatty acids, calcium, and iron. Other foods, such as whole milk
or yogurt, are higher
portion Quantity of a food usually eaten at
one sitting.
Choosing a variety of nutrient-dense foods
you enjoy is a key to eating a healthy diet.
TABLE TIPS
Tips for a Balanced, Varied,
and Moderate Diet
Keep healthy snacks such as whole-
grain crackers in your dorm room and
combine them with protein-rich peanut
68. butter or low-fat yogurt.
Pop a snack-pack size of light micro-
wave popcorn for a portion-controlled
whole-grain snack while you study.
Adopt a multicolor code to guide your
food choices. Add tomato slices and a
low-fat cheese slice to your whole-grain
sandwich and carrots to your tossed
green salad to ensure that your choices
are adequate and varied.
Pack your own snack-sized portions of
dried fruit, trail mix, whole-wheat crack-
ers, baby carrots, or salt-free pretzels
to carry in your backpack. Snack-sized
bags of nuts and seeds are a nutri-
tious way to help you avoid the vending
machine and eat smaller, more moder-
ate portions.
Keep your sweets to no more than
about 100 kilocalories a day.

in saturated fat and kilocalories than their nonfat or low-fat
counterparts, but still pro-
vide significant amounts of calcium, riboflavin, vitamins A and
D, and protein. Some
foods, such as fruit-flavored yogurt and some fortified cereals,
contain added sugars
in addition to several essential nutrients. Do you think these
69. foods can be considered
nutrient dense?
In all of these scenarios, the answer is yes. Whereas nutrient
dense usually means
high in nutrients and low in energy, foods that are high in
nutrients and high in energy
can also be considered nutrient dense. The key is to be aware of
the extra kilocalories and
make up for them elsewhere in the diet. If you don’t like skim
milk and won’t drink it,
but do enjoy the taste of whole milk, then drinking whole milk
is a more healthy choice
than drinking soda.
Healthy Eating Includes Low-Energy-Dense Foods
In contrast to nutrient density, energy density refers to foods
that are high in energy but
low in weight or volume, such as that potato chip. A serving of
deep-fried chips weighs
much less than a plain baked potato, but is considerably higher
in kilocalories. Therefore,
the chip contains more energy per gram. A big, leafy green
salad, on the other hand, is
large in volume but low in energy density, because of its high
water content.
Most high-fat foods are considered energy dense.5 This is
because fat has
9 kilocalories per gram and is thus 2.25 times more energy
dense than either carbohy-
drates or protein at 4 kilocalories per gram. Individuals who
choose low-energy-dense
foods will generally have diets that are lower in fat and higher
in nutrient content.
70. Eating a low-energy-dense diet can sometimes be the key to
weight loss. Recent
studies have found that leaner individuals ate more low-energy-
dense foods and fewer
kilocalories, while consuming a greater volume of food,
compared with their obese
counterparts.6 Even modest changes in dietary intake may
promote and help maintain
weight loss7 over time.8 One reason for this may be that eating
higher-volume, lower-
energy foods means larger portions for the same number of
kilocalories. Other reasons
may include improved satiety and appetite control.9 In other
words, low-energy foods
will “fill you up before they fill you out.”
If you are trying to maintain your current weight, or lose
weight, you are probably
on a limited energy budget and need to choose foods that are
nutrient dense and low in
kilocalories. Use the guide in Table 2.1 to help stretch your
energy budget while con-
suming the most nutrient-dense foods.
satiety Feeling of satiation, or “fullness,” after
a meal before hunger sets in again.
▲ Figure 2.1 Which Is the Healthier Way to Enjoy Potatoes?
Whereas one ounce of potato chips and one medium baked
potato have similar kilocalories, their nutrient content is worlds
apart. A baked
potato contains more folate, potassium, and vitamin C, and
fewer fat kilocalories, than its fried counterpart. The baked
potato is therefore
more nutrient dense than potato chips.
* Note: Based on the percentage of the DRI for 19- to -50-year-
71. old males. All these percentages apply to females in the same
age range, except for vitamin C.
Females have lower vitamin C needs than males, so a baked
potato provides over 20 percent of the DRI of this vitamin for
women.

Assignment 5, Diet Analysis
Part B (due July 10):
I have attached the daily food intake for 3 days file
Prepare a summary report to discuss your findings and
recommendations. This summary is based on the
MyDietAnalysis reports that you have already submitted in Part
A. I have attached these reports 4 total which were based on the
3 day food intake entered
Part C (due July 10):
81. Prepare a detailed report to discuss how your intake compares
to recommended goals. This report is based on the
MyDietAnalysis reports. I have attached these reports 4 total
which were based on the 3 day food intake entered
You will submit Part B, and Part C as separate assignments.
Part B and Part C
This Assignment is essentially, your final project for this
course. Be sure to put time and effort into it.
The Dietary Analysis Assignment is designed to help you assess
your own personal dietary patterns and food choices and make
recommendations for improvement.
This part of the assignment is based on the reports you created
for Part A.
You should spend some time analyzing your diet with My Diet
Analysis tool. Use the data you reported in Part A. Look at the
four reports you submitted in Part A.
Answer the following questions. Your answers should be
thorough and include SPECIFIC insights about your
results. Show that you have spent some time at MyDietAnalysis
website and provide specific details!
1. Use THIS https://www.choosemyplate.gov/nutrition-nutrient-
density page and “All Nutrients Spreadsheet” report to answer
these questions. Look at the "Calories" and "Saturated Fat
Calories" columns to see the details.
a) Define “nutrient density” (review the information on p.41-42
in your textbook).
b) What 2 specific foods that you ate were the most nutrient
dense? Explain WHY you think so.
c) Which 2 foods were the least nutrient dense?
Explain WHY you think so.
2. Using “My Plate” report, list specific foods that you could
change (add, delete, prepare differently, etc.) in order to make
your day’s intake meet the MyPlate requirements in
any 2groups of the recommendations. What groups would you
like to change?
If you have met the recommendations, discuss further whether
82. you would benefit from changing your diet.
Be VERY SPECIFIC about amounts and foods to add or subtract
in order to meet your MyPlate recommendations. For example,
if you were over the meat/protein recommendation by 3 oz., you
could say something like “I could have 1 less egg for breakfast
and 2 fewer ounces of chicken for dinner in order to bring my
meat group in line.”
Use ChooseMyPlate https://www.choosemyplate.gov/start-
simple-myplate website to find cup and ounce equivalents for
each food group (click on the food groups on the sidebar).
3. How does your actual calo rie intake compare to the
recommended intake? Is it higher, lower, or within 10% of
recommended? Does this concern you? Why or why not?
Explain. Provide specific recommendations if necessary.
Use the "Actual Intakes vs Recommended Intakes" report.
4. Discuss any discrepancies (over or under) in
your MACROnutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat, saturated
fat, fiber, cholesterol). Are any of these of concern to you?
Why or why not? Explain. Make suggestions on how to change
your diet in order to bring these nutrients to the recommended
levels. Provide specific recommendations if necessary.
Use the "Actual Intakes vs Recommended Intakes" report.
You can use Appendix 13 (attached) of the Dietary Guidelines
for Americans to find foods that are rich in fiber. You can also
use THIShttps://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-
and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-
20050948 article.
If your report shows too much of some undesirable
macronutrients, track the foods that supplied them. Use "All
Nutrients spreadsheet" report for that.
5. Compare your calorie sources of carbohydrate, protein, fat,
and alcohol with recommended ranges from the Dietary
Reference Intakes (DRIs):
45-65% - Carbohydrates
10-35% - Protein
20-35% - Fat
83. 0 - 5% - Alcohol
Use the "Calorie and Fat Sources" report. If your intake for
protein, carbohydrate, fat and/or alcohol falls outside
recommended ranges, list 1-2 changes that might help bring
your calorie distribution within recommended ranges. Please be
specific. If your intakes are within the ranges, discuss whether
you would want to make any changes and explain why.
6. From your “Actual Intakes vs Recommended Intakes” report,
list 5 MICROnutrients (vitamins and/or minerals) that were not
OK. Pick the micronutrients in which you were the most
significantlyunder OR over the recommendation. State what is
in your report and what is recommended. What are the three
most significant 'deficiencies'? For each micronutrient that you
listed in the 'most deficient', discuss the following:
a) Why this micronutrient is important and why your result may
(or may not) be of concern to you. Provide a reference.
b) Suggest 2specific foods – with portion sizes and the amount
of the nutrient in that portion -- that you could add to (or
subtract from) what you ate during this period to bring that
nutrient intake in line with recommendations. Do this
for each of the 3 most 'deficient' micronutrients.
To find foods that are rich in specific micronutrients, you can
use your textbook
or THIS https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/sites/lpi.oregonstate.edu/file
s/pdf/mic/micronutrients_for_health.pdf website. To check the
amount of the micronutrient in a specific food, use
MyDietAnalysis tool or the USDA websites from Assignment 3.
In MyDietAnalysis, use the Diet Tracker tab to enter the food
and find the amount of the nutrient in a given amount of food.
Be sure to provide a reference to your sources.
When answering Questions 4 and 6, keep in mind that it is
impossible to get exact amounts that are recommended. It is OK
to consume more than the 'recommended' amount of some
nutrients but not the others. Show that you understand this
subject.
Do not analyze your water intake - it is difficult to record water
84. consumption accurately.
Please write your response to the questions in the numbered
format. Copy the questions into your paper. For Questions 2, 4
and 6, clearly state what your intake was and what is
recommended. Use absolute units (cups, oz, grams, mg, etc.) -
not percents.
In general, state your result from the reports BEFORE analyzing
it and providing recommendations. Keep in mind that your
reviewers do not have access to your actual reports. Make sure
they can understand what you are talking about.
Do not forget to title your paper (create a unique title).
You can use any reliable websites for information. Make sure to
provide a REFERENCE to all sources you used (in-text citation
and the reference list). Use the same APA style as in
Discussions:
- Number your sources in order of their appearance in the text.
- Use the number for in-text citation (in parentheses or
superscript).
- Arrange your reference list in numerical order.
