Does anyone know how to add a column to the Income Statement that shows the $/Unit for each line on the statement?
For example, if all of your sales are sold on a per pound (LB) basis, then management often wants to view reports (both income and expense) on a $/LB basis. For some companies this might be a per case, or a per item.
Suppose you want to show $/LB on the Income Statement. For a given period (like a month), you would divide all of the $ for each line by the total number of pounds sold that period to obtain $/LB for that line.
All ideas/suggestions are welcomed.
