Answer 1

Answer:

The net income is $21,000

Explanation:

In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded.  

If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income

And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss

This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account.  

The computation of the net income is shown below:

Net income = Service revenue - Salaries Expense -  Advertising Expense - Utilities Expense

= $57,000 - $19,000 - $11,000 - $6,000

= $21,000

The service  revenue denotes all revenues

And, Salaries Expense + Advertising Expense  + Utilities Expense denotes all expenses
