Key Concepts and Summary Multi-step income statements provide greater detail than simple income statements. The format differentiates sales costs from operating expenses and separates other revenue and expenses from operational activities.
This statement is best used internally by managers to make pricing and cost reduction decisions. Simple income statements are not as detailed as multi-step income statements and combine all revenues and all expenses into general categories. Even though merchandising companies and service companies conform to generally accepted accounting principles GAAP , there are differences in the ways each prepares its financial statements, especially income statements , where most differences center around the existence of inventory.
A merchandising company buys tangible goods and resells them to consumers. These businesses incur costs, such as labor and materials, to present and sell products. Retail and wholesale companies are the two types of merchandising companies. Retail companies sell products directly to consumers, and wholesale companies sell products directly to retailers or other wholesalers.
The operating cycle of a merchandising company is the time between the purchase of the product and the sale of that product. Service companies do not sell tangible goods to produce income; rather, they provide services to customers or clients according to a specific expertise or specialty. Service companies sell their services, often charging base fees and hourly rates. Examples of service companies include consultants, accountants, financial planners , and insurance providers.
The income statement shows financial performance from operations first and then separately discloses gains and losses that fall outside the regular scope of operations. The differences in income statements can be further understood by examining the balance sheets of both types of companies.
For instance, inventory is a large percentage of the assets category for a merchandising company. As such, they tend to have less cash on hand than service businesses since their capital is tied up in illiquid assets. By contrast, service businesses' assets tend to be weighted toward accounts receivable. For a service business, the absence of inventory means receivables are a greater proportion of total assets.
Both service and merchandising companies may experience gains or losses from non-operational sources. However, sources of the gains or losses differ between the two business types. For instance, a merchandiser might decide to redecorate a retail store and sell off fixtures for a profit.
A service company might have a one-time gain from the sale of a patent. Lawsuits may also be a factor for both types of businesses. For merchandisers, lawsuits are often related to defective goods.
Meanwhile, a service provider might be more likely sued for breach of contract. Both merchandising companies and service companies prepare income statements to help investors, analysts, and regulators understand their internal financial operations.
Merchandising companies hold and account for product inventory, which makes their income statements inherently more complicated. Much of the inventory calculation is manifested through the line-item cost of goods sold , which is an expense account describing the cost of purchasing inventory and delivering it to customers.
If you look at an income statement for a service company, you will not see a line item for the cost of goods sold.
