Q1. Would an increase in the cost of raw materials used in the production of inventory and would an increase in marketing expenses

Increase in raw materials cost          Increase in marketing expense

A)           Yes                          No

B)          No                        Yes

C)          Yes                            Yes

Correct answer is A)

Gross profit is equal to sales minus cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes the direct costs of producing a product or service such as raw materials, direct labor, and overhead (fixed costs). Thus, an increase in raw materials costs will result in higher cost of goods sold and lower gross profit. Marketing expenses are considered operating expenses (SG&A), not in cost of goods sold.

Q2. Do gains and losses, as well as expenses appear on the income statement?

Correct answer is B)

Gains and losses result from, transactions that are not a part of the firm’s normal business operations. Expenses are amounts that are incurred to generate revenue; thus, expenses result from the firm’s ongoing operations. Both are included on the income statement.
