A. $240,000
B. $0
C. $30,000
D. $100,000

Answer 1

A. $240,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Operating income = Revenues - expenses

For Burwood Village:

Revenues equal receipts from parking fee which is $ 400,000

Expenses = salaries and utility expenses and depreciation.

Income = $ 400,000- (70,000 +90,000)

=$240,000.00

Parking meters are assets for the business. Their costs will be spread through their useful years. Each year, their cost will be captured as depreciation and deducted from the revenues for that year.
