A vertical income statement re-arranges the same figures of the Trading and P&L Account in a single-column, step-by-step form: Sales less Cost of Goods Sold gives Gross Profit; less operating expenses gives Operating Profit; less non-operating (finance) expenses gives Net Profit. No figures change - only the presentation.

Working Note - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

COGS = Opening Stock + Purchases + Carriage Inward + Wages - Closing Stock

COGS = 20,000 + 90,000 + 500 + 10,000 - 30,000 = Rs. 90,500
