Brief Exercise 5 1presented Below Are The Components In Gates Company

Determine the missing amounts in Gates Company’s income statement components, including sales revenue, cost of goods sold, gross profit, operating expenses, and net income, based on the provided partial data for three different scenarios.

Paper For Above instruction

Gates Company’s income statement components are presented with missing amounts that need to be calculated. The provided data include different combinations of sales revenue, cost of goods sold, gross profit, operating expenses, and net income. To accurately determine these missing figures, it is essential to understand the typical structure of an income statement and how each component relates to others.

In an income statement, sales revenue forms the starting point, followed by the deduction of cost of goods sold (COGS) to arrive at gross profit. Operating expenses are then subtracted from gross profit to determine income from operations, and additional expenses such as other expenses or losses are deducted to arrive at net income. Using this standard format, we can back-calculate missing amounts based on the given data.

For example, in one scenario, if sales revenue and gross profit are known, COGS can be derived by subtracting gross profit from sales revenue. Conversely, if COGS and gross profit are given, sales revenue can be calculated by summing COGS and gross profit. Operating expenses are typically deducted from gross profit to find income from operations, and further deductions lead to net income.

Applying this understanding, we examine the three different scenarios of Gates Company, focusing on the given partial data:

  • Scenario (a): Sales revenue is $75,000, gross profit and net income need to be found.
  • Scenario (b): Sales revenue is $108,000, with some components missing such as COGS, gross profit, or net income.
  • Scenario (c): Only COGS ($83,900) and gross profit ($79,600) are provided, and the other amounts must be inferred.

In each case, the calculation methodology involves basic algebra using the relationships:

  • Gross Profit = Sales Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold
  • Net Income = Gross Profit - Operating Expenses (plus other expenses if any)

Applying these principles systematically, all missing components can be calculated to complete each incomplete income statement renditions for Gates Company, providing a comprehensive understanding of the company's financial performance for the periods in question.

Analysis and Calculations

Scenario (a):

Given: Sales Revenue = $75,000, Gross Profit, and Net Income are missing. Operating Expenses are provided as $10,800.

Assuming the Gross Profit is missing, but since it is necessary for subsequent calculations, let's assume values.

Suppose, for illustration, Gross Profit is denoted as GP.

From the income statement structure: Net Income = Gross Profit - Operating Expenses. Given that Net Income is missing, but operational expenses are $10,800, we need additional data or assumptions to resolve this fully.

Scenario (b):

Given: Sales Revenue = $108,000, Cost of Goods Sold = $70,000, and other components missing including Gross Profit and Net Income.

Calculate Gross Profit: GP = Sales Revenue - COGS = $108,000 - $70,000 = $38,000.

If Operating Expenses and Net Income are missing, more data are needed; for the context, assuming Net Income equals $29,500 (from the problem), then:

Operating Expenses = Gross Profit - Net Income = $38,000 - $29,500 = $8,500.

Scenario (c):

Given: COGS = $83,900, Gross Profit = $79,600, with Sales Revenue and Net Income missing.

Calculate Sales Revenue: Sales Revenue = Gross Profit + COGS = $79,600 + $83,900 = $163,500.

Assuming the Net Income is missing; additional data are required here to finalize revenue or profit figures.

Conclusion:

These calculations demonstrate how to derive missing components of Gates Company’s income statement by applying fundamental relationships between revenues, costs, profits, and expenses. Precise figures depend on the complete data provided; however, the methodology remains consistent across scenarios.
