Document Summary

The single-step statement of earnings only does one thing: subtract total expenses from total revenues before income taxes. Multiple-step statement of earnings shows all the steps required in arriving to the net earnings total. All data is categorized under revenue and expenses. The multiple-step statement of earnings shows five main steps: (1) net sales (2) gross profit (3) earnings from operations (4) non-operating activities (5) net earnings. Net sales = sales j sales returns and allowances j sales discounts. Gross profit = net sales j cost of goods sold. Earnings from operations = gross profit j operating expenses. Sometimes operating expenses are divided into two categories: selling and administrative. Selling is associated with making sales (i. e. advertising or salaries) and administrative are general operating activities (i. e. accounting or legal). Non-operating activities consist of other revenues and expenses that are unrelated to the companys main operations. Special gains or losses are also reported here.
