    Not enough information given. You need beginning and ending figures to solve this type of problem.

    The equation to calculate Net income for this type of problem is: Ending Owners Equity = Beginning Owners Equity + Additional Investments + Net Income (Revenues - Expenses) - Drawings

    This equation can be rewritten as: Net Income = Ending Owners Equity - Beginning Owners Equity - Additional Investments + Drawings
