salantis [7]

Answer:

Gross Profit ⇒ $296,500

Operating expenses ⇒ $153,500

Explanation:

Gross Profit;

= Net sales - Cost of Goods sold

Net sales = Sales revenue - sales discounts - sales returns and allowances

= 807,000 - 6,000 - 10,900

= $790,100

Cost of Goods sold

= Opening balance + Purchases + Freight-in - Purchase discounts - Purchase returns and allowances -closing balance

= 56,500 + 509,500 + 4,800 - 8,000 - 2,700 - 66,500

= $493,600

Gross Profit = 790,100 - 493,600

= $296,500

Operating Expense

Net Income = Gross profit - operating expenses

143,000 = 296,500 - operating expenses

Operating expenses = 296,500 - 143,000

= $153,500

nirvana33 [79]

Answer

$31,000

Explanation:

(c) $31,000

Explanation:

As per IRS for Earnings of Clergy, A licensed, commissioned, or ordained minister who performs ministerial services as an employee may be able to exclude from gross income the fair rental value of a home provided as part of compensation (a parsonage) or a housing allowance provided as compensation if it is used to rent or otherwise provide a home. In order to be able to exclude the housing allowance from income, the minister's employing organization must officially designate the housing allowance as such before paying it to the minister.The fair rental value of a parsonage or the housing allowance is excludable only for income tax purposes, and not for Self-employment tax purpose.

In the given case, the church did not designate any of Luke's salaries as a housing allowance. Hence it is not deductible from Gross Income for Income Tax Purposes and irrespective of designation or not, it is not deductible for self-employment tax.

Thus, Full salary of Luke i.e $31,000 must be included when figuring net income for self-employment tax.
