Single-step:
1. Simplicity and conciseness.
2. Probably better understood by users.
3. Emphasis on total costs and expenses and net income.
4. Does not imply priority of one revenue or expense over another.
Multiple-step:
1. Provides more information through segregation of operating and nonoperating items.
2. Expenses are matched with related revenue.
