    In Chapter 7 and Problem 7-26
    The following transactions apply to Artesia Co for 2012 its first year of operations and we had to do an income statement. These are the transactions:
    1. Received $40000 from the issue of a short term not with 5% interest rate and a one year maturity. The not was issued on 4/1/2012.
    2. Received $120000 cash plus applicable sales tax for performing services. Sales Tax was 6% which makes it $7200.
    3. Paid $72000 cash for other expenses during the year.
    4. Paid the sales tax due on $100000 (which would be $6000) of the service revenue for the year. Sales tax balance was not due until 2013.
    5. Recognized accrued interest on 12/31/2012.

    It tells me the net income on the side of $46500 for 2012, but somewhere I gained $100, because I keep coming up with $46600. My 2012 Income Statement looks like this:

    Revenue = $120000
    Operating Expenses = ($72000)
    Interest Expense = ($1340)
    Net Income is $46600

    Can someone help me where this extra $100 came from? I've been working on this for the past couple of days going over my numbers over and over again. I couldn't sleep last night because of this extra money on the statement!

    Thank you for the time!

    from the information I would say you have the interest calculation incorrect it is approximately $1500

    making your income statement
    Revenue = $120000
    Operating Expenses = ($72000)
    Interest Expense = ($1500)
    Net Income is $46500
