    A. $70,000

    Explanation:

    From the information given, we discover that

    Gross profit from sporting goods business = $100,000

    Subtract: other Expenses = 11500

    Subtract: Building depreciation expenses (10000 * 55%) = 5500

    Subtract: Mortgage Interest (10000 * 55%) = 5500

    Subtract: Depreciation on vehicle used for business = 3000

    Less: Utilities for Ground Floor = 4500

    Net Self employment Income = $70,000

    Note that 55% is used for ground floor, it is calculated as 100 - 45% used by tenant, therefore, for business purpose 55% will be taken.
