Less Operating Expenses :

Administrative Expenses

Wages expense 19,000

Depreciation expense 1,750

Utilities expense 320

Insurance expense 780

Rent expense 9,800 (31,650)

Operating Income / (Loss) 5,600

Less Non Operating Expenses

Rent revenue (560)

Step-by-step explanation:

A multi-step income statement, shows separately, income derived from Primary Activities of the Company (in this case marketing) and income which also includes secondary activities (Net Income).

Earnings per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stockholders.

= $3,560 ÷ 820 shares

= $4.34 (2 decimal places.)
