Introduction:
Income statement categories
• Income statements are financial records of the results of an entity’s operations during a particular reporting period.
• They record the revenues from sale of goods and services and expenses in the form of direct costs such as material, labor and overheads and indirect costs such as selling and distribution expenses.
• The difference between the Revenues and expenses is the Profit or Loss from operations. This is carried forward to the Balance Sheet.
• Income statement categories classify the items of the income statements into meaningful categories based on the similarity of the nature of the items and help in data analysis of financial statements.
