Details a b c d

1 Beginning of the year Equity 43,704 43,704 43,704 43,704

2 Owner's investment (+) - - 45,000 35,000

3 Dividends (-) - 10,200 - 10,200

4 Net income / loss (+) 34836 45,036 -10164 10,036

5 End of the year Equity 78540 78540 78540 78540

Step-by-step explanation:

Equity = Assets - Liability

Beginning of the year = 76500 - 32796 = $43,704

End of the year = 132000 - 53460 = 78540

Net income = End of year equity - (Beginning of the year Equity + Owner's Investment - Dividends)

a) Net income = 5 - (1 + 2 - 3)

= 78540 - (43704 + 0 - 0)

= 34,836

b) Dividend of 850 per month = 850 * 12 = 10,200

Net income = 5 - (1 + 2 - 3)

= 78540 - (43704 + 0 - 10200)

= 45,036

c) Net Income = 5 - (1 + 2 - 3)

= 78540 - (43704 + 45000 - 0)

= -10,164

d) Dividend of 850 per month = 850 * 12 = 10,200

Net Income = 5 - (1 + 2 - 3)

= 78540 - (43704 + 35000 - 10200)

= 10,036

Owner's investment increases equity

Dividends reduce equity

Net Income increases equity
