Respuesta :

It’s A as all the other answers indicate a positive direction , however the income statement shows it’s heading a negative thus the answer is A

If a company's income statement shows that the financial picture of the firm is headed in a negative direction it means that the company likely had more expenses than revenue.

The three types of financial statements of a company are:

1. The income statement: it is a financial statement that contains information of a company's revenue and expenditures. The components of an income statement are:

  • revenue
  • cost of goods sold
  • gross profit  
  • expenses.
  • net profit

 When the revenues of a company exceeds its cost, the company earns a profit. If the cost is greater than the revenue, the firm makes a loss.

2. Statement of Changes in Owner's Equity: it contains information on the owners equity and changes to the owners equity.

3. Balance sheet: it is a financial statement that contains information on a company's assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity.
