As the company deals with interior designing operations the major variants of income statement on which focus should be made
comprise sales, salaries and marketing. Other expenses do not play major role as the profit is dependent on sales and the salaries paid
to the employees for their operations. An increasing trend in sales can be observed and the same is present in profit. Income statement

invest in the company or not. Increasing sales directly effects the profit; thus the same is best way to improve profitability of a
company.
