Question 1
1. Income Statement (Profit and Loss Statement)
The Income Statement summarizes your business's revenue, costs, and expenses
over a specific period, showing whether the business has made a profit or loss.
Steps:
1. Revenue (Sales): Record all income generated from sales of goods or services.
Example: If your small bakery sold 1,000 loaves of bread at $2 each in a
month, your total sales revenue would be $2,000.
2. Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): These are the direct costs associated with
producing the goods or services sold.
Example: If it costs $1 to produce each loaf of bread (including ingredients
and labor), COGS would be $1,000 (1,000 loaves x $1).
3. Gross Profit: Subtract COGS from Revenue.
Example: Gross Profit = Revenue - COGS = $2,000 - $1,000 = $1,000.
4. Operating Expenses: Record expenses such as rent, utilities, marketing, and
salaries.
, Example: Monthly rent is $300, utilities $100, and marketing $50. Total
operating expenses = $450.
5. Operating Profit (EBIT): Subtract operating expenses from gross profit.
Example: Operating Profit = $1,000 - $450 = $550.
6. Interest and Taxes: Deduct interest on loans and taxes (if applicable).
Example: Interest on a business loan is $50, and taxes are $100. Total
deductions = $150.
7. Net Profit: This is the final profit after all expenses, interest, and taxes have
been deducted.
Example: Net Profit = $550 - $150 = $400.
