Answer 1

B. a comparison of the benefits and the sacrifices a company experiences from its operations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total revenues and total expenditures are reported in the income statement.

If the total income exceeds expenditure then the company earns net income And if the total income is below the total expenditure then the company has a net loss This net income or net loss would be represented in the retained earnings account statement.
