Explanation / Answer

Total assets - Total liabilties = Total equity

Total equity on December 31, 2018 = 478,000 - 189,000 = 289,000

Net Income = Ending total equity - Beginning total equity + Dividends

= 289,000 - 96,000 + 20,000

= 213,000

Total equity on December 31, 2019 = 558,000 - 239,000 = 319,000

Net loss = Ending total equity - Beginning total equity - Additional investment

= 319,000 - 289,000 - 41,000

= 11,000

Total equity on December 31, 2020 = 688,000 - 339,000 = 349,000

Net Income = Ending owner's equity - Beginning owner's equity - Additional investment + Drawings

= 349,000 - 319,000 - 16,000 + 30,000

= 44,000

Net income for 2018 213,000 Net loss for 2019 11,000 Net income for 2020 44,000
