Explanation of Solution

The income statement is prepared to determine the net income. The revenues from the G store are only 16% out of total revenues.  In order to know whether the company is in more trouble than worth, it is necessary to know the expenses that are attributable to the G store.

In this income statement, expenses amount is shown in the single category instead of showing it separately for both the companies. Thus, when there is a breakdown of categories, it helps the company to generate profit or loss for the company.

Conclusion

Thus, there should be breakdown of the categories with respect to two companies.
