Income statement

The income statement, also known as the profit and loss $($P&L$)$ statement, provides a snapshot of the financial performance of a company during a

specified period of time. It reports a firm's gross income, expenses, net income, and the income that is available for distribution to its preferred and

common shareholders.

The income statement is prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles $($GAAP$)$ that match the firm's revenues and expenses to the

period in which they were incurred, not necessarily when cash was received or paid. Investors and analysts use the information given in the income

statement and other financial statements and reports to evaluate the company's financial performance and condition.

Consider the following scenario:

Cute Camel Woodcraft Company's income statement reports data for its first year of operation. The firm's CEO would like sales to increase by $25\%$

next year.

Cute Camel is able to achieve this level of increased sales, but its interest costs increase from $10\%$ to $15\%$ of earnings before

interest and taxes $($EBIT$).$

The company's operating costs $($excluding depreciation and amortization$)$ remain at $70\%$ of net sales, and its depreciation and

amortization expenses remain constant from year to year.

The company's tax rate remains constant at $25\%$ of its pre$-$tax income or earnings before taxes $($EBT$).$

In Year $2,$ Cute Camel expects to pay $$200,000$ and $$1,281,375$ of preferred and common stock dividends, respectively.

Given the results of the previous income statement calculations, complete the following statements:

In Year $2,$ if Cute Camel has $5,000$ shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding, then each preferred share should expect to receive

in annual dividends.

If Cute Camel has $400,000$ shares of common stock issued and outstanding, then the firm's earnings per share $($EPS$)$ is expected to change from

in Year $1$ to

in Year $2.$

Cute Camel's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization $($EBITDA$)$ value changed from

$\text{'}$ in Year $1$ to

in Year $2.$

It is

to say that Cute Camel's net inflows and outflows of cash at the end of Years $1$ and $2$ are equal to the company's annual

contribution to retained earnings, $$2,257,000$ and $$2,789,875,$ respectively. This is because

of the items reported in the

income statement involve payments and receipts of cash.
