Answer 1

Option D , 15,100

Solution:

The formula for net income is calculated through total expenditures subtracted from total revenues.

Net Income = Service Revenue - Salary Expense - Repairs Expense - Supplies Expense - Gasoline expense

                     = $22,800-$4,500-$800-$1,600-$800

                     = $15,100

Net Income = $15,100
