Concept and Features of the “Income Statement” Page:

What is the Income Statement: The Income Statement is one of the key financial statements used to provide an overview of a company’s performance and business entity over a specific period, typically on an annual basis. It is also known as the Profit and Loss Statement and displays details of revenues and expenses that reflect the company’s operating result during the financial period.

  • Details of the Income Statement:

    1. Revenues: These are the financial returns representing the total sales or services provided by the company during the financial period.
    2. Cost of Goods Sold: It represents the cost of goods or services sold during the financial period. This cost includes raw materials, labor, and production costs.
    3. Gross Profit (Total Gross): Calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from revenues. This amount represents the total profit before deducting general and administrative expenses.
    4. General and Administrative Expenses: These items include indirect expenses associated with managing the company’s daily operations, such as salaries, wages, rent, taxes, and marketing.
    5. Net Profit (Profit After Tax): Calculated by subtracting income taxes from the profit before taxes. This item represents the final profit achieved by the company after deducting taxes.

    4. Comparison Filter: There are several options available, including “Accumulated – First Year – Budgeted.”
      • Accumulated: Through this option, the cumulative comparison tool allows you to access a comprehensive view of financial performance. It shows you expenses, revenues, and profits achieved during the specified period from the date filter in the “Period” column. Here lies the distinction: you can review expenses, revenues, and profits across all periods, and this information is displayed in the “Cumulative” column. By simply dividing these two figures, you can calculate the percentage of achievement for your company or institution, which is displayed in the “Achievement Rate” column.
      • First Year Period: This option allows you to view expenses, revenues, and profits during the specified period through the date filter. This data is displayed in the “Period” column. Additionally, you can examine expenses, revenues, and profits during the same period as defined in the date filter for the previous year. This information is displayed in the “Previous Year Period” column. Simply put, by dividing these two numbers, we can calculate your company’s or institution’s progress rate, which is displayed in the “Achievement Rate” column.
      • Budgeted: This choice provides you with a window to forecast future financial business operations. You can review expenses, revenues, and profits achieved during the specified period through the date filter. This data is displayed in the “Period” column. Additionally, you can review expenses, revenues, and profits estimated in advance for the same period through the Budgeted option. This information is displayed in the “Budget” column. Through the simple division of these two numbers, you can calculate your company’s or institution’s progress rate, which is displayed in the “Achievement Rate” column.
