I think the total assets figure of $605,000 does not agree with the total liabilities and equity of 2008. What I get is :
Accounts payable 90,000
Notes payable 60,000
Common stock, 400,000
Retained earnings 101,000
Total 651,000

However, net income must agree with the return on total assets as well as return on equity
