Answer:
Net Income = $45000
Explanation:
The basic accounting equation states that the value of assets is always equal to the sum of the values of liabilities and equity.
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total equity
At the beginning of the year:
295000 = 190000 + Total equity
Total Equity = 295000 - 190000
Total Equity = $105000
The net income earned during the year is appropriated in two ways. It is either retained in the business and transferred to retained earning or paid out as dividends or both. Transfer to retained earnings from net income increases equity.
At the end of the year:
355000 = 220000 + Total Equity
Total Equity = 355000 - 220000
Total Equity = $135000
Ending balance of equity = Opening balance of Equity + issuance of equity(Common stock) + Net Income - Dividends
135000 = 105000 + 35000 + Net Income - 50000
135000 = 90000 + Net Income
Net Income = 135000 - 90000
Net Income = $45000
