Calculate income from operations (operating income) for the year ended December 31, 2019. b. Calculate net income for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Answer 1

a. Income from operation is $208,000

b. Net income is $66,000

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The computation of the income from operation is shown below:

= Gross profit - operating expenses

where,

Gross profit is $411,000

And, the operating expenses = General and administrative expenses + Advertising expense + Other selling expenses

= $84,000 + $76,000 + $43,000

= $203,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the answer would be equal to

= $411,000 - $203,000

= $208,000

b. Now the net income would equal to

= Earning before interest and taxes - income tax expense

where,

Earning before interest and taxes = Income from operations - interest expense

= $208,000 - $62,000

= $146,000

And, the income tax expense is $80,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the answer would be equal to

= $146,000 - $80,000

= $66,000
