Explanation:

The multiple-step income statement can be described as an income statement that shows gross profit which is net sales revenue minus the cost of goods sold, and separates an organization's operating revenues and operating expenses from its nonoperating revenues, nonoperating expenses, gains, and losses.

The multiple-step income statement is different from a single-step income statement which only employs just one equation to determine profits by simply deducting total revenue from total expenses.

Slattery Corporation's Net income for 2019 can be determined by preparing its Multi-Step Income Statement for 2019 as follows:
