Requirement 2:

Answer: Option b) The multiple-step income statement shows the relationship of gross profit to sales.

Explanation:

A major advantage of the multiple-step income statement over the single-step income statement is the multiple-step income statement shows the relationship of gross profit to sales. In single-step we does not show the sales and gross profit relation but, in multiple-step income statement its shows all expenses also in different heads.

  • The value of total expenses clearly presents not only in multiple-step income statement but also in single-step income statement.
  • The value of total revenues clearly presents not only in multiple-step income statement but also in single-step income statement.
  • The multiple-step income statement is not a less complex to prepare

Thus, the option b) is correct and remaining options are incorrect.
