Revenue                      $22,000

Operating expenses  ($13,990)

Insurance expense*    ($2,710)

operating income         $5,300

*under the 12 month rule, any prepaid expenses made by cash basis taxpayers will be recognized during the period that they were paid if the expenses will be accrued in 12 months or less. In this case, the insurance expense will be accrued during year 2, which is 12 months or less.

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
