    Straight accounting question
    Capital ending P26,000.00
    Liabilities ending 10,000.00
    _________
    Assets ending P36,000.00
    =========
    Assets ending is larger than P2,000.00 at the beginning of the year. So therefore, the beginning total assets is P34,000. 00. With beginning total assets of P34,000 and beginning liabilities of P8,400 our beginning total stockholders equity would be P25,600.00.

    Capital ending P26,000.00
    Dividends 2,400.00
    _________
    Total P28,400.00
    Less Capital, beg. 25,600.00
    __________
    NEt Income P 2,800.00
    =========

    Note: Problems like this try to use T-Account procedure in order to squeeze the balances.
