Choose a large, well-known firm different from the ones we’ve discussed in our discussion forums to date.

Your business has been open for a month, and you have prepared an income statement and completed a variance analysis on the data.

The investors would like to see the thought process behind your financial strategy and how your company has performed in its first month. They have therefore asked you to present a report that includes the costing and income data from your Project Workbook.
