How to prepare an income statement?

In financial reporting, selecting a suitable reporting period is crucial. It delineates the timeframe for the income statement, a document vital for assessing a company’s financial health. To begin, compute the Total Revenue, encompassing all income streams. Then, deduce the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), representing the direct costs tied to producing goods or services. The Gross Profit emerges by subtracting COGS from Total Revenue. Moving forward, delineate Operating Expenses, including administrative and operational costs. Calculate Income by subtracting operating expenses from gross profit. Factor in Interest and Taxes to derive the Pre-Tax Income. Finally, account for taxes to compute the Net Income, a fundamental indicator of a company’s profitability.
