Financial Statements
Financial statements are prepared immediately after the adjusted trial balance. Knowing
how to record transactions, make adjusting entries, and create trial balances gives you
a greater understanding of the information financial statements contain.
Income statement. The income statement, which is sometimes called the statement of
earnings or statement of operations, lists all revenue and expense account balances
and shows the company's net income or net loss for a particular period of time. This
statement may be prepared using a singlestep or multiplestep format. The singlestep
format puts revenue and expense accounts into separate groups. Then, total expenses
are subtracted from total revenues to determine the net income or loss.

Companies may use slightly different categories for expenses, but the overall structure
for this type of income statement is essentially the same. For example, merchandising
companies include a category for the cost of goods sold, and many companies break
operating expenses into two subcategories: selling expenses and general and
administrative expenses
Statement of owner's equity. The statement of owner's equity shows activity in the
owner's equity accounts for a particular period of time. The capital account's opening
balance is followed by a list of increases and decreases, and the account's closing
balance is calculated from this information. Increases include investments made by the
owner and net income. Decreases include owner withdrawals and net loss. Since the
income statement already shows all revenue and expense account balances, only the
company's net income or loss appears on this statement.
