Expert Solution
Step 1

The Income statement is part of the financial statements which shows the gross income by taking net revenues (by deducting sales returns and discounts from the gross sales) and declining the cost of goods sold from it. And shows the net income figure for the year by deducting all the other expenses, depreciation, taxes, etc. for the period from the gross income. The income statement shows the profitability position of the company.
