Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the total net income for the three years, we need to add the individual net incomes. However, since all three net incomes are negative, the total net income will be negative as well. Adding -$424, -$186, and -$449 gives us a total of -$1059. Therefore, the best choice is B. To find the total net income, we need to add up the incomes for all three years. The negative signs indicate losses rather than profits. Therefore, the sum of the three net income values is: 
-$424 + (-$186) + (-$449) = -$1059 
So, the total net income for these three years was -$1059. Choice B is the only option that matches this value.
