UNDERSTANDING INCOME ACCOUNT


             IMPORTANCE OF INCOME ACCOUNT IN ANALYZING STOCK INCOME ACCOUNT
When we invest in share market, we invest for future income of the company. In order to estimate future income we look at its past income. We need to analyze statement of profit and loss, to gain knowledge whether income is generated from regular operation or through other sources like capital gain , interest, etc.
The EPS is used to value shares in stock market by multiplying it appropriate coefficients. In order to calculate future profit it is important to have knowledge of income account as income is subject to arbitrary nature.

Now let us explain new part other comprehensive income
Other Comprehensive Income refers to items of income and expenses that are not recognized as a part of the profit and loss account
This Income appears as a line item below the income statement.  In simple words it is gain or loss that has not been realized. For example, gain or loss on an investment can be realized when it is sold.  Hence for investments classified as ‘Available for Sale’, the unrealized income or loss will be reported under Other Comprehensive income.
Examples of Other Comprehensive income are:
  • Unrealized gain or loss on bonds
  • Unrealized gain or loss on investments that are available for sale
  • Foreign currency translation gains or loss
  • Pension plans gain or losses
Other comprehensive income can be reported either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects with a single aggregate income tax expense.
WE will learn to interpret  each part of income account later on.
