Solution

The correct answer is d. The company had a loss this year.

Here's why:

The Income Statement portion of the work sheet shows the company's revenues and expenses for a specific period. If the debit column (which represents expenses) total is greater than the credit column (which represents revenues) total, it means that the company's expenses exceeded its revenues. This situation indicates that the company operated at a loss for that period.
