Explanation:

Requirement A

                                                                              2018

Net sales                                                              73,000

Less: Cost of goods sold                                    39,000 (Note- A)

Gross profit                                                          34,000

Less: Operating expense                                   17,500 (Note- B)

Net income                                                          16,500

Note - A = (Net sales - Cost of goods sold) = Gross profit

73,000 - Cost of goods sold = 34,000

Or, 73,000 - 34,000 = Cost of goods sold

Or, 39,000 = Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold = 39,000.

Note - B = Gross profit - Operating expense = Net income

Or, 34,000 - Operating expense = 16,500

Or, 34,000 - 16,500 = Operating expense

Or, 17,500 = Operating expense

Operating expense = 17,500.

Requirement B

                                                                               2019

Net sales                                                               $139,500 (Note - C)

Less: Cost of goods sold                                    $86,000

Gross profit                                                          $53,500

Less: Operating expense                                   $41,000

Net income                                                          $12,500

Note - C = (Net sales - Cost of goods sold) = Gross profit

Or, Net sales - $86,000 = $53,500

Or, Net sales = $86,000 + $53,500

Net sales = $139,500

The net income of 2019 is less than the 2018 net income.
