The correct answer is:

$20,000 (D.)

Explanation:

To calculate Parker's net income, we have to identify the transactions into income or expenditure, and calculate the difference between the total income and total expenditure, and this is done as follows:

Particulars                        Income ($)              Expenditure($)

generated revenues           60,000                   -

cost of goods sold                  -                          30,000

operating expenses               -                           12,000

gain on equipment sale         2,000                  -

Total                                      62,000                  42,000

Net income = Total income - Total Expenditure

= 62,000 - 42,000 = $20,000 (D.)
