Chapter 9, Problem 6PB

Using the information for Lighthizer Trading Company, prepare the income statement to include all costs, but separate out uncontrollable costs. Insert subtotals where appropriate (include one for operating income) before the uncontrollable costs. Income tax expense should be based on all expenses (that is, it will be the same amount as in the previous exercise). Calculate net income, profit margin, ROI, and RI excluding uncontrollable expenses. Prepare a short response to accompany the income statement that explains why uncontrollable costs are separated in the income statement.
