    Ok. What is the most basic accounting equation? Assets =...

    Next, think about how owner investments and draws affect equity. Then think about how net income or loss affects equity. I know I'm a bit rusty but by my calculations, the company had a net income of roughly $174,000 in 2013. What did you come up with?

    it is all contained in the equation assets - liabilities equals equity. By introducing the various numbers into the equation at the appropriate point and comparing it with the opening figures what remains must be your answer

    You need to know the changes is equity formula, which is:
    Beginning Owners Equity + Owners Investments - Owners Drawings + Net Income (Revenues - Expenses) = Ending Owners Equity

    So if you have all the above information except for one item then you can rearrange the formula to solve for the missing item.

    For example you are trying to solve for Net Income you would rearrange the formula to:
    Net Income = Ending Owners Equity - Beginning Owners Equity - Owners Investments + Owners Drawings


    Note: In these types of problems you might have to solve for Beginning Owners Equity or Ending Owners Equity first by using the basic accounting equation and rearranging it to solve for either Beginning or Ending Owners Equity.
