Intro to Income Statements
Intro to Income Statements
Lesson Objectives:
   After studying this lesson, you will be able to:
       1. list revenue and expenses in the income statement;
       2. explain how an income statement reflects revenue and expense; and
       3. define accounting period.
   The income statement summarizes the activities of the business during the period
covered. It shows the income and expense of the business during the period and the
net income or net loss from its operations. An accounting period or fiscal period is any
specific period of time for which a summary of business operation is prepared. The
length of an accounting period is determined by the particular needs of a firm. It can be
a month, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.
   The income statement of a service firm consists of only two items:
          Revenue represents an increase in owner’s equity brought about by the
           receipt of assets for rendering services to customers.
          Expenses represents a decrease in owner’s equity brought about by using
           the assets to generate the revenues for the firm.
    The account title used for the revenues earned by a service concern is dependent
upon the type of business the company is engaged in. If the business is engaged in
rendering professional services, then we call the revenue earned Professional Fees; for
repair shop business, the revenue earned is Repair Fees or Income; for a general term,
we use Fees Earned or Service Revenue/Income. In addition to its operating activities,
a business firm may have other income which is not considered as its main source of
activities and therefore not included in the Revenue from Operations section of the
income statement. Example: interest income, rent revenue, dividend revenue, etc.
Likewise, they also incur non-operating expense such as interest expense which is
more of a financial expense.
   The very first item that will appear in the income statement is the revenue which is
considered as the main source of business activity. If there will be non-operating
revenues, these items will be presented at the lower portion of the income statement.
   The next is the Operating Expense. All expenses incurred in the regular business
operations are shown or listed here. These include all expenses incurred in the
generation of revenue. Some of these are advertising, taxes and licenses, utilities (for
                                           Assets

   Notes:
           AZUL capital 1/2/11 represents total investments at the beginning of the
            period plus profit retained in the business during the previous year.
           Net Income – The result of business operations per the Income Statement.
           Withdrawals or Personal Drawing – The amount of cash or other assets
            taken by the owner from the business for personal use.
   Another way of presenting the capital section of the balance sheet is to merely
present the capital balance of the owner as of 12/31/11 by way of the accounting
equation, i.e. Assets-Liabilities = Owner’s Equity. However, it is necessary to present
the changes in owner’s equity through the preparation of a supplementary statement
known as Statement of Changes Equity.

   Let us take the above example. Assume that instead of showing the breakdown of
capital in the balance sheet, you decided to prepare a capital statement. Therefore, the
capital section of your balance sheet will be shown as follows:
                                              Owner’s Equity
       AZUL, Capital 12/31/11

    If the company incurred a net loss (assume a net loss of P 7,000), the capital
statement will be presented as follows:

II. Computation.
  Below are the account balances of Rita Repair Shop owned by Jonathan Cruz as of
December 31, 2011. You are required to prepare the following:
        1. Income Statement
        2. Capital Statement
        3. Balance Sheet-Report Form
Lesson Objectives:
   After studying this lesson on revenue and expense accounts, you will be able to:
       1. recognize the need for revenue and expense accounts;
       2. identify how revenue and expense accounts fit into the accounting structure;
          and
       3. journalize or record the revenue and expenses and balance sheet accounts.
     Modules I and II have introduced to you the basic financial structure of accounting.
You have learned the “why” and the “how” of asset, liability, and owner’s equity
accounts. Studying these three accounting elements is insufficient to provide useful
information about business operations. It is apparent that you should also know two
types of accounts to keep tack of the business income and expenses and these are the
revenue and expense accounts. Revenue and expense accounts are used to record
changes in the financial status of a business over a period of time – a week, a month, a
quarter, semi-annual or a year. They have a direct bearing on the assets, liabilities, and
owner’s equity. Expenses result in a decrease in assets and owner’s equity or increase
in liabilities and decrease in owner’s equity.
   To complete the picture of our rules of debit and credit, we will now include revenues
and expenses.
       We debit in order to record:             We credit in order to record:
       1. Increase in assets                    1. Decrease in assets
       2. Decrease in liabilities               2. Increase in liabilities
       3. Decrease in capital                   3. Increase in capital
          a. Increase in expenses                  a. Increase in revenue
          b. Increase in drawing                   b. Additional investments
    Applying the rules of debit and credit, we are now ready to review how to journalize
(record) a series of transactions in a two-column journal. Following is an illustration:
    Ms. Diwata started a shoe repair business on June 1, 2011. Listed below are her
transactions for the month of June. Let us journalize the transactions.

II. Analysis.
   During 2011, the owner’s equity of Dalisay increases from P 270,000 to P 324,000
despite her P 58,000 cash withdrawal. There being no additional investment, what could
have been the reason for such an increase?

    The reason for such an increase is that Dalisay earned a net profit of P 112,000 arrived at

represents a net increase in capital of P 54,000 which when added to the withdrawal of P
58,000 is a net profit of P 112,000.
