    Single step income statement
    In a single step income statement, would "common stock outstanding" fall under expenses and losses or revenues and gains? I'm not sure I understand what it means.

    Stock doesn't go on an income statement at all. It's an equity account.

    Your accounting equation is the balance sheet:
    assets = liabilities + equity

    Revenues and expense (which affect equity) are your income statement.
