Answer:

final net income = $3830.9375

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

sales = $15000

DEPRECIATION = $1200

interest rate = 6.25%

federal+state income tax rate - 35%

OPERATING COST EXCLUDING DEPRECIATION = $7500

total operating cost = 7500+ 1200 = $8700

interest given = 6500*0.0625=406.25

net income with tax= 15000-8700-406.25 = 5893.75

final net income = 5893.75*(1-0.35)=3830.9375
