    Start with the basic accounting equation, which is:
    Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity

    You need to compute Owners Equity for each year, then account for the change between your amounts between 2013 to 2014 and from 2014 to 2015.

    The change in owners equity is:
    Ending Owners Equity = Beginning Owners Equity + Investments - Drawings + Net Income.

    The Formula can be rewritten as:
    Net Income = Ending Owners Equity - Beginning Owners Equity - Investments + Drawings
