    For Retained Earnings simply take your Net Income minus Dividends and add this amount to your beginning Retained Earnings to get your ending Retained Earnings.

    For Owners Equity simply take your ending Paid-in Capital and add your ending Retained Earnings to get your ending Owners Equity.

    For your ending Assets simply take your Ending Liabilities and add your ending Owners Equity together.
