Interest70,000
Loss on the sale of long-term investments 30,000
Officers' salaries 225,000
Rent for office space220,000
Sales salaries and commissions 140,000
One-half of the rented premises is occupied by the sales department.
Brock's total selling expenses for 20x5 are: - answer480,000
Advertising$150,000
Freight-out 80,000
Rent for office space ($220,000 × .50)=110,000
Sales salaries and commissions 140,000
Equals total selling expenses $480,000
Advertising is part of the overall selling effort. Freight-out is delivery expense. Offering
delivery service is also part of the overall sales effort. Only 1/2 the rent is included in
selling expenses because the sales department occupies only 1/2 the premises.

, $7,200 tax effect)14,40012,000Interest revenue10,200Gain on the sale of
equipment4,700Total revenues$213,900
In the revenues section of the 20x5 Income Statement, Baer Food should have reported
total revenues of: - answer201,900
Net sales$187,000
Interest revenue 10,200
Gain on equipment 4,700
Total revenues $201,900
This answer includes the gain on the sale of equipment. It is the best answer from
among the four because this answer less the gain is not represented. However, many
would argue that the gain is not a revenue. Discontinued operations is not a revenue;
rather, it is a special item of disclosure found below income from continuing operations
in the Income Statement.
