Replies to the questions.

>>.I am closer to the stage. It is easier to see the actors.

 

There is a good one in Baltimore, Maryland. It is called Center Stage.

I do not see much of the theater. But I'm interested. So Such knowledge will be helpful . Thank you.

2.    What is Net Income if revenues change to $30,000, cost of goods sold changes to $20,000 and operating expenses are the same?

 

When I go under conditions of the above, the net income is $ 9,346.

 

>>If revenues are $30,000 and cost of goods sold is $20,000, then gross margin is $10,000 (30,000 - 20,000 = 10,000). Net income is $9,346 (10,000 - 654 = 9,346).

3.    What is Net Income if revenues are $30,000, cost of goods sold is $10,000, and total operating expenses change to $25,000?

When applied to the above conditions, a net loss of $ 5,000 will occur. It is because the total operating expenses exceed the gross margin.

 

>>Correct.

4.    How easy was this lesson for you?


Though the accounting was about right, it was difficult to understand clearly.

 

It is still very hard to understand English.

 

>>English is a hard language. So is Japanese!

 

Getting to and using the linked web pages was: About right.
