Please see the attached document titled WK3DisInstructions. I have also provided
attachments to include as references to complete the assignment.
Identify a merchandising business which with you are familiar or one you read about. The business should be substantial enough to make its financial statements available. Ideally, it should have existing information about its impact in the community, corporate social responsibility, or a related positive presence outside of its regular business activities.
Post a cohesive response based on your analysis of the Learning Resources and your professional experience. Be sure to discuss the following:
- Analyze the selected merchandising business’ sources of revenue and explain how those are determined
- Contrast variable costs with fixed costs and provides examples of each.
- Evaluate how a performance report that uses break-even, contribution margin, and variance analysis would provide useful information to managers in this organization
- Evaluate how this company could contribute to positive social change in a new and innovative way
