Comparative Income Statements

Particulars                          amount (2015)    %             amount (2014)      %

Sales                                   $750,000           100          $695,000           100

Cost of goods sold             (568,100)           (75.75)      (288,800)           (41.55)

Gross profit                         181,900                24.25       406,200            58.45

Operating expenses          (128,000)             (17)           (272,000)           (39)    

Net income                         $53,900              7.25         $134,200           19.45

From the above calculation, we can say that the cost of goods sold decreases the net income. In this math, due to the increase in the cost of goods sold, net income declines.

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
