- The income statement of a merchandising company includes Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and gross profit, which are not found on a service company’s income statement. This is because merchandising companies sell physical products, while service companies provide intangible services. Service company income statements are simpler, usually showing revenue from services minus operating expenses like salaries, rent, and supplies. In short, the main difference is that merchandising firms track product costs and gross profit, while service companies do not.
