Explanation:

Net income = sales revenues - Expenses

For Harold Corporation;

sales revenues = $ 75,000

Expenses = Rent income $ 10,000

Salaries and wages expenses $20,000

Total expenses = 10+20 = $ 30,000

Net income = $75,000 - $30,000

Dividends, common stocks, accounts payable, and accounts receivables are not expenses relating to income-generating activities of the business; hence do not appear in the income statement.
