Accounting homework help
I am brand new to accounting. I am very excited, as I really want to do this. The only thing is, my instructor has a very thick accent, and is hard to understand. I'm not looking for the answer, just how to get to it. I'm feeling kind of lost. Here's my problem:
These data, exclusive of amount of owner's equity, are shown on a balance sheet:
Beg. Of year: Total Assets $810,000 Total Liabilities $324,000
End of year: Total Assets $1,296,000 Total Liabilities $540,000
On the basis of the above data, determine the net income or loss.
I understand how to determine the OE, but this would have to do with the difference in OE.. not sure how to get there. Do you subtract beg. Of year OE from end of year OE?
Also, I am getting ridiculous amounts trying to determine net income/loss... I know the answer is close, but I'm just not sure how to get there, and the book is not clear (or I'm obviously missing out on something). I feel so stupid. Can you help me?
