    The computation of the net income earned or net loss incurred is shown below

    Particulars a b c d

    Equity beginning $32,564 $32,564 $32,564 $32,564

    balance

    Add:

    Owner investment $45,000 $35,000

    Less:

    Dividend $16,800 $16,800

    Add: Net income $35,861 $52,661

    or net loss ($9,139) $17,661

    Equity ending

    balance $68,425 $68,425 $68,425 $68,425

    Working notes

    The beginning and ending equity balance is

    Beginning equity balance is

    = Total assets beginning - total liabilities beginning

    = $57,000 - $24,436

    = $32,564

    Ending equity balance is

    = Total assets ending - total liabilities ending

    = $115,000 - $46,575

    = $68,425

    The annual year dividend is

    = $1,400 * 12 months

    = $16,800
