Answer 1

Longmeadow Painting Co.

Income Statement

For the month ended July 31, 2015

Revenue 12,000

Expenses

Cost of goods sold 2,000

Gross Profit 10,000

Wage expense 8,000

Supplies expense 400

Other expense 200

Net Income 1,400

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Supplies used are not part of Cost of Goods Sold. They are regarded as expenses and not directly related to the painting done for customers, but are materials used in the running and administration of the business.

b) There is an Ending Inventory of paint worth $500 ($2,500 - $2,000), which is the difference between the purchases of paint and the paint used during the month. This will form part of the Balance Sheet assets because the Cost of Goods Sold only considered the paint used and not the purchases.
