    In the Beginning of the Year
    Assets = 97,000
    Liabilities = 41,584
    Equity = 55,416

    In the End of the Year
    Assets = 155,500
    Liabilities = 62,978
    Equity = 92,522

    So what do I need to do in order to get the Net Income and Net Loss for Questions A - D?

    I need to determine the net income earned or net loss incurred by the business during the year for each of the following separate cases:

    (a) Owner made no investments in the business and no withdrawals were made during the year.

    What is the Net Income?

    (b) Owner made no investments in the business but withdrew $1,200 cash per month for personal use.

    What is the Net Income?

    (c) No withdrawals were made during the year but the owner invested an additional $45,000 cash.

    What is the Net Loss?

    (d) Withdrew $1,200 cash per month for personal use and the owner invested an additional $25,000 cash.

    What is the Net income?

    Barring any other explanation the movement in equity represents net income for the year

    If there is an addition to capital or drawings this will change the result

    O.k then, being that there was no activity with the owners investments or withdrawals then the answer for A. is 37,106 is this correct?
