Question

Summary this document.

Answer

Here’s a concise summary of the income statement (FYXX Q2, amounts in USD):

- Statement header: FYXX Q2 (entity named on the statement).  
- Net sales: $500,654  
- Cost of goods sold (COGS): $75  
- Gross profit: $500,579 (≈ 99.99% gross margin)  
- Total operating expenses: $474,171  
  - Largest expense: Wages $455,551 (≈ 96.0% of total expenses; ≈ 91.0% of sales)  
  - Other notable operating costs: Miscellaneous $4,767; Repairs & maintenance $4,564  
- Net operating income: $26,408 (≈ 5.28% of sales)  
- Other income:
  - Gain on sale of assets: $25,112
  - Interest income: $12,321
  - Total other income: $37,433
- Net income: $63,841 (≈ 12.76% net margin)

Key observations: COGS is negligible ($75), so wages are the primary cost driver; operating expenses consume most of gross profit, but other income (asset gain + interest) lifts the company to a positive net income of $63,841.
