    Income Statement
    I have been tasked with preparing an income statement. First I will show you what I have come up with...

    Revenues
    Fees 384,000
    =384,000

    Expenses
    Advertising Expense 15,000
    Supplies Expense 46,000
    Rent Expense 10,000
    Utilities Expense 3,000
    Miscellaneous Expense 4,400
    Salaries Expense 61,000
    =139,400

    384,000-139,400=244,600 (income before taxes)

    Income Taxes (30% of income before taxes) 73,380
    =171,220 net income

    What has me confused is the information given that I did not use (and am not sure if I have to use) which includes the following:

    Accounts payable $ 35,000
    Accounts receivable 65,000
    Cash 19,500
    Owners' equity 140,000

    Am I on the right track here? Do those 4 bits of information NOT go on the income statement?

    Lost & Confused!! :confused: :confused:

    You seem to be on the right track. Those four all should be on the balance sheet, not income statement.
