Answer 1

Answer:

a) Net income of $35,800

b) Net income of $45,000

c) Net loss of $23,000

d) Net income of $23,950

Explanation:

Net income is the difference between the revenue and expense.

Where revenue is more than expense, we have a net income otherwise, a net loss.

a) Net income = $71,300 - $35,500

= $35,800

b) Net income =  $220,500 - $175,500

= $45,000

c) Net loss =  $149,000 - $172,000

= - $23,000

d) Net income = $198,150 - $174,200

= $23,950
