purchase accounts, Cost of Goods Sold and general administrative and selling expenses of a
merchandising business that will equip him/her in the preparation of the SCI for both service and
merchandising businesses.
Performance Standards The learners shall be able to solve exercises and problems that require
preparation of SCI for a service business and a merchandising business.

INSTRUCTION/DELIVERY
1. Define the term Statement of Comprehensive Income and introduce the term Temporary
Accounts
STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME – Also known as the income statement.
Contains the results of the company’s operations for a specific period of time which is called
net income if it is a net positive result while a net loss if it is a net negative result. This can be
prepared for a month, a quarter or a year.
TEMPORARY ACCOUNTS – Also known as nominal accounts are the accounts found
under the SCI. They are called such because at the end of the accounting period, balances
under these accounts are transferred to the capital account, thus having only temporary
amounts and resulting to zero beginning balances at the beginning of the following
year.Examples of temporary accounts include revenues, sales, utilities expense, supplies
expense, salaries expense, depreciation expense, interest expense among others.

2. Sample Statement of Comprehensive Income (SCI)

3. Difference between the single-step and multi-step format of the SCI

Single-step – Called single-step because all revenues are listed down in one section while all
expenses are listed in another. Net income is computed using a “single-step” which is Total
Revenues minus Total Expenses.
Multi-step – Called multi-step because there are several steps needed in order to arrive at the
company’s net income.
a. The two are only formats and will yield the same amount of net income/loss
b. Single-step SCI is more commonly used by service companies while multi-step format is
more commonly used by merchandising companies.

4. Difference of the Statement of Comprehensive Income of a Service Company and of a

Merchandising Company
The main difference of the Statements of the two types of business lies on how they generate their
revenue. A service company provides services in order to generate revenue and the main cost
associated with their service is the cost of labor which is presented under the account Salaries
Expense. On the other hand, a merchandising company sells goods to customers and the main
cost associated with the activity is the cost of the merchandise which is presented under the line
item Cost of Goods Sold. In presenting these items on the Statement of Comprehensive Income, a
service company will separate all revenues and expenses (as seen in the single-step format) while
a merchandising company will present total sales and cost of goods sold on the first part of the
statement which will net to the company’s gross profit before presenting the other expenses
which are classified as either administrative expenses or selling expenses (as seen in the multi-
step format).

5. Different parts of the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

a. Heading
i. Name of the Company
ii. Name of the Statement
iii. Date of preparation (emphasis on the wording – “for the”)
b. Sample of a Report Form SFP – Refer to the one above
i. First part is revenues This is the total amount of revenue that the company was able to
generate from providing services to customers
ii. Second part is expenses (can be broken down into General and Administrative and
Selling Expenses) Please see the discussion in multi-step for general and administrative
and selling expenses.
iii. Revenues less Expenses. Net income for a positive result and net loss for a negative
result.

Note: is the comprehensive discussion of the SCI. A simpler SCI can be found after the
discussion.
 c. Sample of a multi-step SCI
i. First part is sales This is the total amount of revenue that the company was able to generate from
selling products
ii. Second part compose of contra revenue – called contra because it is on the opposite side of the
sales account. The sales account is on the credit side while the reductions to sales accounts are on the
debit side. This is “contrary” to the normal balance of the sales or revenue accounts.
ii.i. Sales returns – This account is debited in order to record returns of customers or allowances
for such returns. Sales returns occur when customers return their products for reasons such as but
not limited to defects or change of preference.
ii.ii.Sales discount – This is where discounts given to customers who pay early are recorded.
Also known as cash discount. This is different from trade discounts which are given when
customers buy in bulk. Sales discount is awarded to customers who pay earlier or before the
deadline.
iii. Sales less Sales returns and Sales discount is Net Sales
iv. Third part is Cost of Goods Sold – This account represents the actual cost of merchandise that
the company was able to sell during the year.
iv.i.Beginning inventory – This is the amount of inventory at the beginning of the accounting period.
This is also the amount of ending inventory from the previous period.
iv.ii.Net Cost of Purchases = Purchases + Freight In

iv.ii.i.Net Purchases = Purchases – (Purchase discount and purchase returns)

iv.ii.i.i.Purchases – amount of goods bought during the current accounting period.
iv.ii.i.ii.Contra Purchases –An account that is credited being “contrary” to the normal balance of
Purchases account.
 iv.ii.i.ii.i.Purchase discount – Account used to record early payments by the company to
the suppliers of merchandise. This is how buyers see a sales discount given to them by a
supplier.
iv.ii.i.ii.ii.Purchase returns – Account used to record merchandise returned by the
company to their suppliers. This is how buyers see a sales return recorded by their
supplier.
iv.ii.ii.Freight In – This account is used to record transportation costs of merchandise purchased
by the company. Called freight in because this is recorded when goods are transported into the
company.
iv.iii.Add Beginning inventory and Net cost of Purchases to get Cost of Goods Available for
Sale
iv.iv.Ending inventory – amount if inventory presented in the Statement of Financial Position.
Total cost of inventory unsold at the end of the accounting cycle.
v. Sales less Cost of Goods Sold is Gross Profit
vi. Fourth Part is General and Administrative Expenses –These expenses are not directly related
to the merchandising function of the company but are necessary for the business to operate
effectively.
vii. Fifth Part is Selling Expenses – These expenses are those that are directly related to the main
purpose of a merchandising business: the sale and delivery of merchandise. This does not include
cost of goods sold and contra revenue accounts.
viii.Gross Profit less General and Administrative Expenses less Selling Expenses is Net Income
for a positive result while Net Loss for a negative result

ENRICHMENT (30 MINS)

1. Discuss how a company can earn without having cash and lose even with lots of cash.
a. Company can still have net income without cash transactions due to accrued income - A sari-
sari store who sells a lot of merchandise but majority of the sales are on credit. High net
income, low cash balance.
b. Company can still have net loss with a lot of cash revenues due to depreciation and accrued
expense - We always see a lot of people buying from Jollibee/Mcdo using cash but a new
branch can still have net loss due to the depreciation expense of its building/equipment.
2. Other important matters:
a. Without the SCI, the company cannot truly know if it is earning. use examples above or go
ahead with the following:
- Small businesses don’t usually account for their revenues and expenses as long as the owners
see that cash is coming in. They sometimes forget that equipment is depreciated and some
expenses are accrued.
b. The importance of the format:
i. Single-Step vs Multi-Step and why is single-step more often used in service companies while
multi-step is more often used in merchandising companies (service companies don’t have
inventories)
ii. Use of reduction to sales and contra purchases (contra accounts are used to easily determine
those accounts that are directly connected to sales and purchases. These can also be used as a
determinant of quality –sales returns and purchase returns)
iii. Separation of the General and Administrative Expenses with the Selling Expenses (companies
can know how to reduce expenses and increase net income by pin pointing which expense is very
high)
