Question

The income statement is prepared from:

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": either the adjusted trial balance or the Income Statement columns of the end-of-period spreadsheet.

Explanation:

The Income Statement is a report that evaluates the financial performance of a company for a given accounting period. The Income Statement shows a company's revenues, expenses, and net profit from both operating and non-operating activities. It lists the company's net sales, cost of sales, selling, administrative expenses, extraordinary items and other income or expenses which helps to reveal the firm's gross profit, operating profit, pre-tax profit, and after-tax profit.

The Adjusted Trial Balance is the result of computing all the accounts from all general ledgers to find out if the frim's debits equal its credits. The income statement can be prepared from this document or the very same Income Statement columns by the end of the period.
