Q

Explain

A

The income statement shows an entity’s revenues, expenses, gains and losses during a reporting period.

A multi-step income statement provides a subtotal for gross profit and a single step income statement does not. Expenses on the income statement can be grouped by the nature of the expense items or by their function, such as with expenses grouped into cost of goods sold.

Q

Would an increase in the cost of raw materials used in the production of inventory and would an increase in marketing expenses result in lower gross profit?

A

Gross profit is equal to sales minus cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes the direct costs of producing a product or service such as raw materials, direct labor, and overhead (fixed costs). Thus, an increase in raw materials costs will result in higher cost of goods sold and lower gross profit. Marketing expenses are considered operating expenses (SG&A), not in cost of goods sold.

Q

During 2007, Topeka Corporation entered into the following transactions:

Transaction #1 – Interest on a certificate of deposit owned by Topeka was credited to Topeka’s investment account.

Transaction #2 – Topeka sold 10,000 shares of common stock at $30 that had been repurchased by Topeka last year for $20.

Should Topeka recognize the results of these transactions as income on the income statement for the year ended December 31, 2007?

A

Interest earned on the CD is recognized as interest income. The gain on the sale of treasury stock is not reported on the income statement but is reflected on the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and on the balance sheet. The sale proceeds simply increase equity and increase cash.

Would an increase in the cost of raw materials used in the production of inventory and would an increase in marketing expenses result in lower gross profit?
