The income statement reports a business' revenues, expenses and net income for a
specific time period
The income statement summaries the results of a business' operating activities for a
specific time period
Shows relationship between management decisions and the results of those decisions
Revenues result in increases in assets and/or decreases in liabilities
Sales policies affect amount of revenue recorded
o Discounts
o Sales returns
o Sales allowances
Inventory systems deal with how inventory and COGS are recorded
Perpetual inventory system
o Keeps a continuous record of the cost of inventory on hand and the cost of inventory
sold
o Balance of inventory and COGS is always up to date
Periodic inventory system
o Determines the inventory on hand and COGS at the end of every accounting period
by physically counting it
o Inventory is not changed when a purchase or sale occurs
The Australian Accounting Standard AASB 2 Inventories deals with what costs can be
included in inventory, the cost of each unit of inventory includes all the costs incurred to
bring the item to its existing condition and location
AASB 2 also states that inventories should be measured at lower cost and net realisable
value (selling price less the selling costs)
If the carrying amount of inventory is greater than its net realisable value, the value of the
inventory must be adjusted downwards against profits by the relevant amount
When cost price of inventory varies across a period, it must be deciding which varying cost
prices belong to COGS and which belong to ending inventory
To do this, business' choose an inventory cost flow assumption, these include:
o Specific Identification
o FIFO
o Weighted average
o LIFO
LIFO has the highest COGS
FIFO has the lowest COGS and so has the highest gross profit
2 simple ratios are used to help with the evaluation of business operating performance
o Profit margin = net income/net sales
o Gross profit percentage = gross profit/net sales
