Income statement - Example John has started a business of selling dress material with $1,000 on 1st January 2020. He purchases 100 meters of the material from his suppliers for $9 each. He sells this material for $20 each. At the end of the month, John has no material left. Apart from the material purchase, he incurred an additional expense of $100 in marketing his material. You are required to prepare the Profit and loss account for John. Income statement of John for the period 01st Jan to 31st Jan 2020 • • • • • •

Revenue is the amount received on sale of goods. In our example, John sold 100 meters of dress material @ $20 per meter. Hence, his total revenue is $2,000. Cost of goods sold (COGS) is the price paid for acquiring goods. John purchased 100 meters of dress material @ $9 per meter. Hence his total Cost of goods sold is $900. Marketing Spend is a spend associated with sales of products and services. In the above example, John incurred a marketing spend of $100.

Net income is the profit generated by a Company after accounting for all expenses.

Balance sheet – Example (1/3) Continuing with our previous example, lets assume that John had invested $1000/- equity in his business. On the day of investment his balance sheet would look like this. Balance sheet of John as on 1st Jan 2020

Current assets are those assets which can be converted into cash within one year. They include: Cash and cash equivalent, Trade receivable, Inventory, prepaid expenses etc.

Non-current Assets include assets such as Property plant and equipment, Long term investments etc. which cannot be converted into cash (during the normal course of operations) within one year.

Current Liabilities are liabilities which are expected to be paid within one year. These liabilities include: Trade payables/ creditors, Short term outstanding expenses, Short term debt etc.

Non-current liabilities are those liabilities which are expected to be paid after one year. It includes Long term debt, Pension, Post-retirement benefit liabilities etc.

Balance sheet – Example (2/3) When John buys the dress material for $900 his balance sheet will look as under. Balance sheet of John as on 1st Jan 2020

Email: Support@skillfinlearning.com

$1,000 cash gets reduced to $100, as he paid $900 for the dress material.

The dress material purchased becomes his inventory of $900 in the balance sheet.

There is no change in the equity investment

Balance sheet – Example (3/3) In the next one month, John sells off all the inventory and earns a net profit of $1000. His balance sheet on 31st January will look like this. Balance sheet of John as on 31st Jan 2020

His inventory gets converted to revenues of $2,000. Out of which he pays $100 for marketing spend. That means his cash balance would increase by $1,900. Closing cash balance for John would be $100 + $2,000 - $100 = $2,000

Inventory gets reduced to NIL as all the material has been sold.

$1000 earned in the business or net income is a cash inflow from operating activity. The inventory during this period reduced to NIL (see balance sheet above). This decrease is a cash inflow of $900 for the business. Summing these two give the cash flow from operations, which is $1,900. When we add the net cash flows generated to the opening cash balance, we get the closing cash balance for John’s business: i.e. $2000/-. This balance matches with what we have in the balance sheet
