Respuesta :

Answer:

Net Income for the year is $174,000

Explanation:

Net Income Calculation for the year is done below:

Particulars                                                            $

Revenues (290,000 + 50,000)                      340,000

Less: Rent (30,000 / 2)                                    (15,000)

Less: Salaries                                                   (110,000)

Less: Utilities (40,000 + 1,000)                        (41,000)

Net Income                                                        174,000

Please note the following with regard to the calculation done above:

  • Revenue includes both the cash collected from customers and cash owed by the customers, which received later on at the end of the year.
  • Rent has been divided by two, this is due to the fact that calculation of  net income is done for the current period so only one year rent is taken.
  • Utilities include cash paid for utilities and the amount company owed to gas & electric company.
