    Calculating Net Incom
    My homework question gives me the following information

    Cash balance Jan 1 23,000
    A/R Jan 1 19,000
    Collections rec'd 200,000
    Capital Acct Jan 1 38,000
    Total Assets Jan 1 75,000
    Cash invest. Added 5,000
    Total Assets Dec 31 101,000
    Cash balance Dec 31 20,000
    A/R Dec 31 36,000
    Merchandise taken
    for personal use 11,000
    Total Liabilities Dec 31 41,000

    I know that net income is revenues less expenses = net income

    This is what I calculated and would like to know if it is correct and if not please help me.

    Thanks

    Ending OE = 60,000

    Beginning Assets $75,000
    Investments 5,000
    Withdrawals 11,000
    + net income XXX
    ---------------------------------
    = Ending Owners Equity = 60,000

    Net income is <9,000>

    Is this correct? Thank you

    Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity.

    First figure out the ending amounts for individual accounts the Balance Sheet then figure out the balance sheet amounts.

    Account for the Difference in Owner's Equity such as stock purchases, Dividends, Owner's contributions, Owner's withdrawals, etc. Unexplained difference is Net Income.
