In 2017, TransUnion will be introducing a new service that will generate $150,000 in sales revenues and $60,000 in costs.

Answer 1

Answer:

$90,000

Explanation:

In this question, we compare the net income and the difference should be reported

In the first case, the net income is

= Revenue - expense

= $1,000,000 - $750,000

= $250,000

In the first case, the net income is

= Revenue - expense

where,

Revenue is = $1,000,000 + $150,000 = $1,150,000

And, the expenses is $750,000 + $60,000 = $810,000

= $1,150,000 - $810,000

= $340,000

So, the net profit is increased by

= $340,000 - $250,000

= $90,000
