This week has focused on using several cost analysis tools to determine how well products contribute to a companys profitability. However, all of these tools are internally used and not required to be published outside of an organization. Instead, external stakeholders rely on the three key financial statements reviewed in Unit 1:

• Income Statement
• Balance Sheet
• Statement of Cash Flows)

If a companys CVP analyses showed it was not operating at break-even, where on the financial statements might one be able to see this impact (i.e., specific line items on the statements)?

As portfolio activities are to be self-reflective, please make sure to connect the portfolio assignment to:

• Your personal experiences
• Course readings and any external readings.
• Discussion forum posts or other course objectives that tie into your reflection.

The Portfolio Activity entry should be a minimum of 500 words and not more than 750 words. Use APA citations and references if you use ideas from the readings or other sources.
