    c. $31000

    Explanation:

    Net self-employment income are gross income gotten from a trade or business, less allowable deductions attributable to the trade or business. When calculating self employment income, capital gains and losses, contributions for retirement, net operating losses are not considered.

    Given that:

    Gross receipts $100,000

    Cost of goods sold $49,000

    Utilities $6,000

    Real estate taxes $1,000

    Depreciation expense $5,000

    Sec. 179 expense $1,000

    Mortgage interest $7,000

    Net self-employment income = Gross receipts - Cost of goods sold - Utilities - Real estate taxes - Depreciation expense - Sec 179 expense - Mort-age interest

    Therefore, Net self-employment income = $100000 - $49000 - $6000 - $1000 - $5000 - $1000 - $7000 = $31000
