He should report these activities as 1000 income and 600 expense.

Explanation:

Any inflow of benefit whether in shape of cash or in kind is income and any amount spend other than the amount spend on thing that can be classified as asset is categorized as expense.

keeping this thing in mind Noah shall classify 1000 as income or revenue and 600 as expense leading to net profit of 400 dollars.
