Topic – How anti-virus software works. OUTLINE AND REFERENCES Topic – How anti-virus software works. OUTLINE AND REFERENCES Question This list of 6-10 sources will become your reference page. You may change your references before the final paper is due, but this preliminary references page should present a complete view of your topic. Also, your text book and Internet basesd sources (do not use Wikipedia) are valid sources. The outline should follow standard outline format. This milestone is worth 30 points toward the total grade for the paper.The reference page is a list of your sources with enough information about each source so that readers can locate them if needed. You don't have to make your final decisions about sources yet, but it is important to locate good sources before proceeding with your paper. So, let's put together the reference page in APA format. If needed, links to APA guides are available in the External Links section of the course. Don't rely on one source too much - have a good list of references so that your paper is based on solid information.

ACC- The Independence Company ACC- The Independence Company Question 5-A1 The Independence Company had the following manufacturing data for the year 2009 (in thousands of dollars): Beginning and ending inventories None Direct material used $400 Direct Labor 300 Supplies 20 Utilities-variable portion 40 Utilities-fixed portion 15 Indirect Labor-variable portion 90 Indirect Labor-fixed portion 50 Depreciation 200 Property Taxes 20 Supervisory salaries 60 Selling expenses were $300,000 (including $80,000 that were variable) and general administrative expenses were $144,000 (including $25,000 that were variable). Sales were $2.2 million. Direct labor and supplies are regarded as variable costs. 1. Prepare two income statements, one using the contribution approach and one using that absorption approach. 2. Suppose that all variable cost fluctuate directly in proportion to sales and that fixed costs are unaffected over a very wide range of sales. What would operating income have been if sales had been $2.0 million instead of $2.2 million? Which income statement did you use to help obtain your answer? Why?
