Answer 1

Answer:

What is the amount of gross profit to be reported on ABC Company’s 12/31/X1 income statement?

Gross Profit = Sales Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold

                    = $54,200 - 15,100

                    = $39,100

What is the amount of operating income (EBIT) to be reported on ABC Company’s 12/31/X1 income statement?

EBIT = Sales Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses

We have the following operating expenses:

Salaries expense $7,100

Rent expense = $4,900

Supplies expense = $1,300

Utilities expense = $4,800

Depreciation expense = $2,500

Total operating expenses = $20,600

Now we substract this figure from the gross profit we found above

EBIT = $39,100 - 20,600

        = $18,500

What is the amount of earnings before taxes (EBT) to be reported on ABC Company’s 12/31/X1 income statement?

EBT = Sales Revenues + Interest Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Non-Operating Expenses.

EBT = $54,200 + $1,400 - $15,100 - $20,600 - $2,100

      = $17,800

What is the amount of net income to be reported on ABC Company’s 12/31/X1 income statement?

Net Income = Sales Revenues + Interest Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Non-Operating Expenses - Tax Expense

We simply substract the Tax Expense ($3,700), from the EBT.

Net Income = $17,800 - $3,700

                   = $14,100
