Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of the net income shown on the income statement is $9,000

Explanation:

The computation of the net income is shown below:

Net income = Services provided for cash =  operating expenses incurred

= $45,000 - $36,000

= $9,000

According to the matching principle, the revenues of a particular period should always be matched with the expenses that are incurred in that particular year

So, the net income that is to be reported on the income statement is $9,000
