Explanation:

In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded.  

If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income

And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss

This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account.  

Before preparing the income statement, first we have to compute the net income or net loss for a given period.

= Net sales + interest revenue - cost of goods sold -  administrative expenses - selling expenses -  interest expense - income tax expense

= $2,421,500 + $35,400 - $1,465,800 -  $214,800 - $295,900 - $45,000 - $130,620

= $304,780

The income tax expense = (Net sales + interest revenue - cost of goods sold -  administrative expenses - selling expenses -  interest expense) × income tax rate

= ($2,421,500 + $35,400 - $1,465,800 -  $214,800 - $295,900 - $45,000) × 30%

= $130,620
