Solution

To prepare the Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2022, we need to calculate the revenues, cost of goods sold (COGS), and expenses.

  1. Revenues: The total sales for the year are $176,274 (from the trial balance).

  2. COGS: This is calculated as follows:

    • Opening stock: $21,672
    • Add: Purchases: $92,022
    • Less: Closing stock: $30,800 (from the notes)
    • COGS: $82,894
  3. Gross Profit: This is calculated as Revenues - COGS = 176,274176,274 - 82,894 = $93,380

  4. Expenses: These are calculated as follows:

    • Discounts: $6,048
    • Returns: $3,402
    • Carriage outwards: $9,072
    • Carriage inwards: $3,990
    • Insurance: 7,3087,308 - 1,120 (from the notes) = $6,188
    • Provision for bad debts: $2,800 (from the notes)
    • Depreciation on Motor Truck: 13,0201013,020 * 10% = 1,302
    • Depreciation on Equipment: 7,140157,140 * 15% = 1,071
    • Telephone Charges: 37,548+37,548 + 1,260 (from the notes) = $38,808
    • Rent: 2,016+2,016 + 700 (from the notes) = $2,716
    • Total Expenses: $74,397
  5. Net Profit: This is calculated as Gross Profit - Expenses = 93,38093,380 - 74,397 = $18,983

So, the Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2022, would show a net profit of $18,983.
