Answer:

Explanation:
Gross Margin:
= Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold
= $290,000 - $100,000
= $190,000
Profit before tax:
= Gross Margin - Salaries - Insurance payment - Interest
= $190,000 - $12,000 - $3,600 - $4,600
= $169,800
Insurance payment: Only half of 2-year payment of 7,200 is relevant for this year.
Net Income:
= Profit before tax - Tax at 30%
= $169,800 - (30% × $169,800)
= $169,800 - $50,940
= $118,860
