Jaslene Cooley · Answer 1

a. $181,000

Explanation:

The Income Statement consists of Revenue and Expenses recorded on Accrual Basis. The Accrual Basis of Accounting states that Revenue and Expenses must be recorded as and when they Occur or Incur not when cash is paid or received.

Calculation of Net Income will thus be as follows:

Revenue Received $260,000

Unearned Revenue ($65,000-$35,000) $30,000

Total Revenue $290,000

Less Expenses:

Expenses ($85,000+$26,000-$28,000) $83,000

Depreciation $16,000

Net Income $181,000
