Answer:

The earnings after tax from the multi-step income statement  is $37,350.00  

Explanation:

In preparing the multi-step income statement , I began with revenue(cash and credit) as sales made on account is already earned, hence should be recorded.

Then deducted costs of goods sold from net sales to arrive at gross profit.

I went further to deduct operating expenses to compute earnings before tax.
