You have been tasked with conducting an in-depth analysis of EEV's operating performance by analyzing the sales volume, cost, and price of each product; each product's contribution to sales and profit; and the relationship between sales and employment. You must describe your findings in a narrative and organized numeric presentation with an Excel spreadsheet for Tony.

1. A financial team has been properly selected and charged to
proceed with its analysis of EEV's financial statements. In the
course of its evaluation, it will be assessing the firm's operating
performance, benchmarking its competitors, and looking at the
industry using financial ratios as its source of measurement.
The income statement measures the firm's profitability over a
period of time: 1 month, 1 quarter, or 1 year. The statement
focuses on the operations of the firm and explains what was
produced and sold. In essence, it summarizes revenues
generated and the results.
Tony understands that managing profitability involves
overseeing 3 interrelated factors: volume, cost, and price. He
has given you the job of conducting an in-depth analysis of
EEV's operating performance. You will analyze the following
factors:
Sales volume, cost, and price of each specific product
Each product's contribution to sales in terms of profit
The relationship between sales and supportive employment
Tony has made it clear that he expects you to initiate a
constructive discussion by describing your findings both in
narrative form and through an organized numeric presentation.
