Answer:

$11,300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Gross receipts = $30,000

Dividend income (on personal investments) = $200

Cost of sales = $15,400

Other operating expenses = $3,000

State business taxes paid = $300

Gross margin = Gross receipts - Cost of Sales

= $30,000 - $15,400

= $14,600

Net income from self employment:

= Gross margin - Other operating Expenses - State business taxes paid

= $14,600 - $ 3,000 - $300

= $11,300
