Courtney · Answer 1

B. $660

Explanation:

Net income is the difference between the sales for the year and the total expense incurred. The expense in this question is the interest on the loan for year 2.

Since the loan was taken on 1 April of year 1 for a year, the interest expense to be recognized for year 2 will be for only 3 months. This expense may be computed as

=3/12 * $32,000 * 8%

= $640

Net income = $1,300 - $640

= $660
