    Beginning 2011 Equity = Ending 2010 Assets of $30,000 - Ending 2010 Liabilities of $24,600 = $5,400

    Beginning Equity of $5,400 + Stock issued of $6,000 + (Net Income of $6,950 - Cash Dividends of $3,500) = Ending 2011 Equity of $14,850

    Ending 2011 Liabilities = Ending Assets of $33,000 - Ending Equity of $14,850 = $18,150
