    The way you wrote your problem the members cannot tell what your numbers mean. For example your assets have 4 different numbers. At Dec 31, 2007 you should have a total assets number, which is your ending balance. Same thing goes for Liabilitites and Owners Equity. The ending year 2007 number will be your beginning year 2008 number.

    To find Net Income for a year you need beginning and ending year Owners Equity. You will have to account for the change in Owners Equity during the year. If there was no owner investments then the change in Owners Equity will be due to net Income.

    Here are all the formulas you will need to solve these types of problems based on your known amounts and what amounts you are trying to find:
    Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity
    Liabilities = Assets - Owners Equity
    Owners Equity = Assets - Liabilities

    Owners Equity = Owners Investments - dividends or withdrawals + Net Income

    Net Income = Revenues - Expenses
