For 2011, 2012, and 2013 you first have to calculate Owners Equity, which is Assets minus Liabilities. Now you have to account for the change in the Owners Equity amount. So You start with the Owners Equity account balance minus the investment during the year plus the drawings amount during the year equals Net Income.
