Hi;

Can you explain what "operating income" is?

I agree. Dharshi, you can not just come in and post 2 years of business college and expect to get answers.

You need to explain terms and show what you have done. Show the math and then anyone here can assist you. Also, you need to come back and check your posts to show that you care and are willing to assist in the solutions.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

ANSWER:
(500+1800+750)=$3050
(3050/180)=$16.94 per month
($16.94 x 6 months)= $101.64 Can be deducted in current year as ( the expenses for the sale of stock are not organizational expenditures)
