Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales revenue = $31,000

Cost of goods sold = $23,000

Employee wages = $21,000

Rent expense = $13,500

Ordinary business income (loss) will Zoom report on its X4 return:

= Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold - Employee wages - Rent expense

= $31,000 - $23,000 - $21,000 - $13,500

= - ($26,500)
