Why the controller had kept certain statistical data


The financial records of LeRoi Jones Inc. were destroyed by fire at the end of 2014. Fortunately, the controller had kept certain statistical data related to the income statement as follows.

1.
The beginning merchandise inventory was $93,200 and decreased 20% during the current year.
2.
Sales discounts amount to $22,700.
3.
29,200 shares of common stock were outstanding for the entire year.
4.
Interest expense was $24,300.
5.
The income tax rate is 30%.
6.
Cost of goods sold amounts to $516,000.
7.
Administrative expenses are 18% of cost of goods sold but only 8% of gross sales.
8.
Four-fifths of the operating expenses relate to sales activities.

From the foregoing information prepare an income statement for the year 2014 in single-step form. (Round earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.48 and all other answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,520.)
