What is an Element?
These are the building blocks of and the composition that you will in the financial statements hence
they are called “elements” of financial statements.
Elements are the words of the accounting language. It is very important for you to understand and
appreciate the concepts of an asset, liability, equity, income and expense and know the conditions for
their recognition or derecognition.
Derecognition is the removal of an element in the financial statement when it ceases to be an element.
     a) Assets;
     b) Liabilities;
     c) Equity;
     d) Income and expenses, including gains and losses; and
     e) Cash Flows
This information, along with other information in the notes to the financial statements, assist users in
predicting the enterprise’s future cash flows and in particular the timing and certainty of the generation
of cash and cash equivalents.
    a) A statement of financial position or balance sheet statement as at the end of the period;
    b) A statement of profit or loss (income statement) and other comprehensive income for the
        period or statement of comprehensive income;
    c) A statement of changes in Equity for the period;
    d) A statement of cash flow period;
    e) Notes to financial statements, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and
        other explanatory information.
The succeeding section focuses on the preparation, strengths and the limitations of the Statement of
Financial Position and describes how companies report their assets, liabilities, owner’s equity.
SESSION 14B. INCOME STATEMENT AND SCI
Objectives
At the end of the session, the learners are expected to:
        This approach of computing net income or loss requires the determination of how much
         income was earned during the year and how much expenses were incurred in earning the
         revenue.
          1.   Unrealized gain or loss on equity investment measured at fair value through other
               comprehensive income.
          2.   Unrealized gain or loss on debt investment measured at fair value through other
               comprehensive income.
          3.   Gain or loss from translating the financial statements of a foreign operation.
          4.   Revaluation surplus during the year.
          5.   Unrealized gain or loss from derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedge.
          6.   “Remeasurements” of defined benefit plan, such as actuarial gain and loss, the
               difference between actual return on plan assets and interest income on fair value of plan
               assets and change in the effect of the asset ceiling.
          7.   Gain or loss attributes to credit risk of a financial liability designated at fair value through
               profit or loss.
How is the Other Comprehensive Income presented?
The amended PAS 1, paragraph 82A, provides that the other comprehensive income section shall
present line items for amounts of other comprehensive income in the period, classified by nature.
    b.   Change in revaluation surplus. The realization of the revaluation surplus is through retained
         earnings.
    c.   Remeasurements of a defined benefit plan.
         The measurements are not recycled subsequently to profit or loss but may be transferred
         within equity or retained earnings.
    d.   Gain or loss attributable to credit risk of a financial liability designated at fair value through
         profit or loss.
         The gain or loss may be recycled subsequently within equity or retained earnings.
What is a Profit or loss?
Profit or loss is the total of income less expenses, excluding the components of other comprehensive
income.
         It is considered a LOSS if the expenses exceed the total revenue, thus it is a negative result of
          operation.
         It is considered a PROFIT if the revenue exceeds expenses.
         Profit or loss is the amount that is found at the bottom line of the traditional income
          statement.
         An entity may use net income or net loss to describe profit or loss.
For example, an entity may use “net income” or “net loss” to describe profit or loss.
                    Revenue or Income          P xx
                    -Cost and Expenses           xx
                   =Profit/Loss                 P xx
What is the difference between Income Statement and Comprehensive Income Statement?
    •     The “Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income” is different from the
          “Income Statement.”
                  The Income Statement (or statement of profit or loss) shows only the profit or loss
                  While the “Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income” shows profit
                   or loss and “other comprehensive income”
    •     The Information presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income is usually considered
          the most important information provided by financial accounting because profitability is the
          paramount concern to those interested in the economic activities of the enterprise.
PAS 1, paragraph 81, provides that an entity has two options of presenting comprehensive income,
namely:
    1.    Two-statement approach
              a.   An income statement showing the components of profit or loss.
              b.   A statement of comprehensive income beginning with profit or loss as shown in the
                   income statement plus or minus the components of other comprehensive income.
B. Rendering of services
              Income from rendering of services, among others includes professional fees, media
     advertising commissions, insurance agency commissions, admission fees for artistic performance
     and tuition fees.
Components of expense
     A. Cost of goods sold or cost of s ales
     B. Operating Expenses
            1. Distribution costs or selling expenses
            2. Administrative expenses
            3. Other expenses
            4. Income tax expense
A. Cost of Sale or Cost of Goods Sold refers to cost of manufacturing or selling the merchandise. It
     includes the cost of purchases less Purchase Returns and Allowances and Purchase Discounts which
     are both reduction from Purchases.
              Purchase Return and Allowances is deducted from Purchase’s account representing the
               returns of merchandise due to damages or not conforming with the order.
              Purchase Discounts refer incentives given to suppliers for early payment of their accounts
               within the discount period.
              Forming part of the cost of sales is Freight-In or Transportation-In which refers to
               transportation cost in bringing the merchandise within the premise of the business to
               become ready for sale.
B. Operating Expenses is the 3rd and the last element that will completely form part of the Statement
     of Comprehensive Income. This consists of expense that is generally classified as to function of
     expenses and the nature of expenses. Under the function of expenses method, there is proper
     classification of expenses as to selling or general and administrative such as:
Classifications of Operating Expenses

     advertising and delivery of goods to customers.

     d.   Advertising and publicity expenses

ASSIGNMENT:               RETENTION EXERCISES AND SEATWORKS
Multiple Choice: Choose the letter which corresponds to the correct answer.
4. Statement I – Revenue decreases Owner’s Equity. Conversely, Expense increases Owner’s Equity.
     Statement II – Profit and Loss are closed to Owner’s Equity.
                 a. Both Statements are true
                 b. Only Statement I is true
                 c. Only Statement II is true
                 d. Both Statements are false
5. Statement I – The Statement of Comprehensive Income is dated “for the period ended.
    Statement II – In the Multi-Step form of Statement of Comprehensive Income preparation,
    operating expenses are directly deducted from Sales Revenue to arrive at Profit.
                 a. Both Statements are true
                 b. Only Statement I is true
                 c. Only Statement II is true
                 d. Both Statements are false
6. Statement I – Service Concern usually follows the single-step form while Merchandising business
    follows the multi-step form.
    Statement II – Operating Expenses are classified into functional and natural expense.
                 a. Both Statements are true
                 b. Only Statement I is true
                 c. Only Statement II is true
                 d. Both Statements are false
7. Statement I – The Revenue that derived from service company is “Service Revenue” while the
    revenue derived from Merchandising business is “Sales Revenue”.
    Statement II – Gross Profit is arrived at deducting Sales from Cost of Sales.
                 a. Both Statements are true
                 b. Only Statement I is true
                 c. Only Statement II is true
                 d. Both Statements are false
In other words, the natural expenses are no longer classified as cost of goods sold, distribution cost,
administrative costs and other activities.
This type of income statement is used in a service or merchandising business under “perpetual
inventory system”.
It is also called the single-step income statement since a single step of deducting expenses from revenue
is performed to arrive at the net income or net loss.
The expenses which are the same in nature are grouped or aggregated and presented as one item.
A Statement of Comprehensive Income that shows expenses by their nature is referred to as prepared
using a single-step approach.
