Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of financial analysis in a business context. Financial analysis is primarily concerned with evaluating financial data to make informed decisions about profitability, costs, and overall financial health.

Recognize that selecting pizza recipes, determining kitchen layouts, and scheduling employee shifts are operational decisions, not directly related to financial analysis.

Focus on the concept of inventory costing methods. Inventory costing methods, such as FIFO (First-In, First-Out), LIFO (Last-In, First-Out), and Weighted Average, impact the valuation of inventory and cost of goods sold (COGS).

Understand how inventory costing methods affect financial statements. Different methods can lead to variations in net income and gross profit due to changes in COGS and inventory valuation during periods of fluctuating prices.

Conclude that financial analysis is used to evaluate the impact of these inventory costing methods on net income and gross profit, as this directly relates to the financial performance of the pizza shop.
