Income Statement

For the month ending June 30, 2016

Service revenue        $12,500

Salaries expense      ($2,500)

Rent expense               ($500)

Operating profit         $9,500

The income statement tells us how much profit/loss did a business make during a certain period of time. In this case, the operating profit was $9,500. In order to calculate net income we would need to subtract taxes but we are not given the tax rate or the taxes due.
