The Income Statement - answer- EBIT: Other income, earned on transactions directly
related to producing and/or selling the firm's products, is added to operating income to
yield earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). When a firm has no "other income," its
operating profit and EBIT are equal.
Net Income: The firm subtracts interest expense - representing the cost of debt
financing - from EBIT to find its pretax income. The final step is to subtract taxes from
pretax income to arrive at net income, or net profits after taxes. Net income is the
proverbial "bottom line" and the single most important accounting number for both
corporate managers and external financial analysts.
Earnings Available for Common Stockholders and EPS: If a firm has preferred stock, it
deducts preferred stock dividends from net income. Net income less preferred stock
dividends is earnings available for common stockholders. Dividing earnings available for
common stockholders by the number of shares of common stock outstanding results in
earnings per share (EPS).
