    Answer: Option (b) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Revenues = $300,000

    Merchandise it purchased = $75,000

    Salaries paid = $14,000

    Owners invested = $23,000

    Borrowed on a five-year note = $23,000

    Interest paid = $3,000

    Paid for a two-year insurance policy = $6,800

    Income tax rate = 9%

    Gross Margin = Revenues - Cost of Goods Sold

    = $300,000 - $75,000

    = $225,000

    Profit before tax = Gross Margin - Salaries - Insurance payment - Interest

    = $225,000 - 14,000 - 3,400 - 3,000

    = $204,600

    Net Income = Profit before tax - Tax at 9%

    = $204,600 - 18,414

    = $186,186
