    (D) $780 in 2015.

    Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    For 2014

    The gross income = Per month cost * number of months + Per month cost * number of months

    = $40 * 6 months + $30 * 6 months

    = $240 + $180

    = $420

    For 2015

    The gross income = One year cost - (Per month cost * number of months) + two year cost - (Per month cost * number of months)

    = $480 - ($40 * 6 months) + $720 - ($30 * 6 months)

    = $240 + $540

    = $780

    The 6 months is calculated from July 1 to December 31
