What is the company's net income for year two?

Answer 1

$1,273,300

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the net income is shown below:

= Gross sales - sales returns - Cost of goods sold - Selling and administrative expense - prior-year understatement of amortization expense + Gain on sale of stock portfolio securities + Gain on disposal of a discontinued business segment - income tax expense

where, income tax expense would be

= ( Gross sales - sales returns - Cost of goods sold - Selling and administrative expense - prior-year understatement of amortization expense + Gain on sale of stock portfolio securities + Gain on disposal of a discontinued business segment) × income tax rate

= ($3,600,000 - $34,000 - $1,200,000 - $500,000 - $59,000 + $8,000 + $4,000) × 30%

= $545,700

So, the net income would be

= $3,600,000 - $34,000 - $1,200,000 - $500,000 - $59,000 + $8,000 + $4,000 - $545,700

= $1,273,300
