    The preliminary net income for February is $ 1,100

    The net profit margin is 42.3 %

    Explanation:

    Computation of net income and net profit margin

    Revenues ($ 900 + $ 1,700) $ 2,600

    Expenses ($ 200 + $ 1,200 + $ 100) $ 1,500

    Net Income $ 1,100

    Net profit margin = Net income / Revenues

    Net Profit margin = $ 1,100 / $ 2,600 = 42.3 %

    The other entries for collections made on Feb 04 for services to be performed next month and the purchase of supplies to be used in the future are not to be considered in revenues and expenses as they do not pertain to the current month
