Net Difference of the following accounts (MI beg., MI end, Purchase, PRA, Freight Out) which
are entered under your SCI assuming there normal balances (though MI end is credited in this
column yet debited in SFP). You should get the totals under the SCI column (naturally they
wouldn’t be balanced). The total’s difference is your Net Income but an additional step is to
consider the Income Tax Expense/Payable (which would always be 30% of your Net Income).
The now considered Net Income is deducted by the Tax. Notice how the net income after tax
amount is entered on the opposite of its normal balance as to make the equation balanced
(placing the amount on the underwhelming side). It would also then be deducted by any
amounts from Allocation Methods (Interest Allowance, Salary Allowance, Bonus Allowance).
The Balance of Net Income should also be considered by deducting the Net Income after Tax.
