INCOME
Subject Teacher: KIMROSE R. POLOPOT
The Statement of Comprehensive Income is an action-packed financial statements.
In contrast, the Statement of Financial Position is still photograph. The SCI is a statement
that explains some of the changes that occur between two SFPs taken one year apart.
What are the actions reported on the SCI? Income and Expenses are the general terms used
to describe the elements of the SCI. Income refers to a transaction that increases assets
and/or decreases liabilities leading to increase in equity resulting from operations of the
business and not from the owner’s contribution. Expenses, on the other hand, are
transactions that decrease asset and/or increase liabilities leading to decrease in equity
resulting from the operations of the business and not because of distribution to owners.
There are two kinds of income – revenue and gains. Revenues are income generated from
the primary operations of the business. Gains, on the other hand are income derived from
other activities of the business. Sale of merchandise to Juana’s costumer is an example of
revenue. It is because the primary operation of the store is to sell its inventories.
Interest income from the time deposit is considered gains and other income and not
revenue.
It is because investment in time deposit is not part of the primary operations of the store.
Like income, there are also two kinds of expenses – expenses and losses. Expenses are
Related to the primary operations of the business. Losses are from other activities of the
Business. Recall that the primary operation of Juana’s store is selling activities. The cost
of the merchandise sold by Juana’s store is part of the store’s selling activities. Therefore,
it is classified as an expense. Interest expense from notes payable is not part of the selling
activities of the store. It is classified as losses and other expenses.
ACCRUAL CONCEPT OF ACCOUNTING
Sales
The sales revenue account is generally used to describe revenue derived from selling
of goods. A more specific account name may be used to identify the goods sold such as
Office Supplies Sales, Books Sales, Food Sales, etc.
Expenses
Cost of Goods Sold ( Cost of Sales )
This is an account used by the companies that sells goods instead of services. For trading
operations, Cost of Sales collects the cost of the merchandise sold. This includes the
purchase price of the inventory, brokerage and shipment cost to bring the goods to the
Premises of the company. This shipment cost is called Freight-In.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses refer to all other expenses related to the operation of the business, other
than cost of sales. These includes salaries of employees, supplies, utilities, bad debt expense,
Depreciation and amortization.
Other Expenses and Other Income
Losses and other expenses as well as gains and other income are reported after the
operating section of the SCI. Line items included under this section are interest income
from outside investments of excess cash, interest expense from borrowings and gain or
Loss from sale of equipment.
