Income Statement using Multiple Step Form

Particulars Amount
i. Sales 96590
ii. Less : Cost of goods sold (60660)
iii. Gross Profit (i-ii) 35930

iv. Operating Expenses(9040+17420)

  • Administrative Expense (4990+4050) = 9040

  Officers' salaries = 4990

  Depreciation of office furniture and equipment = 4050

  • Selling expense (2780+8070+6570)= 17420

  Delivery expense = 2780

  Sales Commissions = 8070

  Depreciation of sales equipment = 6570

 26460
v. Operating income (iii-iv) 9470

vi. Other Incomes and Expenses

  • Rent Revenue = 17320
  • Less : Interest expense = (1950)
 15370
