Answer:

Gross profit 11,720

Net income 9,620

Explanation:

We first, solve for the net sales:

Sales revevenue 28,000

Sales discount 1% = (280)

Net sales 27,720

Now we subtract the cost of good sold, which is given:

Cost of Goods Sold (16,000)

Gross profit 11,720

Now, from the gross profit we subtract the other operating expenses:

Operating expenses (2,100)

Net income 9,620
