Answer 1

Answer:

Sales Revenue $84000

Rent Expense   $9600

Wages Expense $14400

Net Income  $60000

Explanation:

The sales revenue is $84000 ($12000+$72000) these amounts are the revenue which is generated by providing services to the clients. The rent expense is provided in the question as $9600, wages expense is also provided which is $14400. The Net Income is then derived by subtracting Rent and Wages Expenses from Sales Revenue which gives Net Income of $60000 ($84000 - $9600 - $14400).
