Answer:

$118,860

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross Margin:

= Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold

= $290,000 - $100,000

= $190,000

Profit before tax:

= Gross Margin - Salaries - Insurance payment - Interest

= $190,000 - $12,000 - $3,600 - $4,600

= $169,800

Insurance payment: Only half of 2-year payment of 7,200 is relevant for this year.

Net Income:

= Profit before tax - Tax at 30%

= $169,800 - (30% × $169,800)

= $169,800 - $50,940

= $118,860
