Answer 1

Sunland Inc.

Income statement for the year 2020

Sales $1,100,000

Less Sales Discounts ($18,700)

Net Sales $1,081,300

Less Cost of goods sold ($440,000)

Gross Profit $641,300

Less Expenses

Administrative expenses ($440,000 x 20%) ($88,000)

Interest expense ($18,000)

Net Profit before tax $535,300

Income tax expense ($535,300 x 30%) ($160,590)

Net Profit after tax $374,710

Step-by-step explanation:

The Income Statement shows the Profit earned during the Reporting Period. Only Revenues or Incomes and Expenses are recorded in this Statement.

Using the amount of admin expenses to fin the Gross Sales we have :

Gross Sales = 100 / 8 x $88,000 = $1,100,000
