    I think the total assets figure of $605,000 does not agree with the total liabilities and equity of 2008. What I get is :
    Accounts payable 90,000
    Notes payable 60,000
    Common stock, 400,000
    Retained earnings 101,000
    Total 651,000

    However, net income must agree with the return on total assets as well as return on equity
