2.Calculation for the company’s preliminary net income.

Freight revenue 4400

(1410+860+2130)

Less Expenses 2116

(500+1500+116)

Preliminary Net income $2,284

Therefore the company’s preliminary net income will be $2,284

3. Calculation for the company’s net profit margin expressed as a percent

Net profit margin = 2,284/4,400

Net profit margin=0.5190*100

Net profit margin=51.90%

Therefore the company’s net profit margin expressed as a percent will be 51.90%
