AKRON, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY

Income Statement Year Ending December 31, 2018

Sales $1,380,000

[1,100,000+(600,000-320,000)

Less Cost of goods sold ($575,000)

(500,000+50,000+15,000)

Gross profit $805,000

($1,380,000-$1,380,000)

Operating expenses 635,000

(400,000+220,000+15,000)

Consolidated net income $170,000

($805,000-635,000)

Therefore Consolidated net income will be $170,000
