The Owner’s Equity ending balance is $15,730.

In order to solve this question you need to determine what information you need from what has been provided. In order to calculate the owner’s equity we will need to first calculate the income or loss, which we will do by subtracting the expenses from the income.

Income (Fees Earned) = $9,250

Expenses = $2,500 + 1,960 + 775 + 250 + 185 = $5,670

The formula for Net Income is Income - Expenses = Net Income

$9,250 - $5,670 = $3,580

Now that we have the Net Income we can calculate the Owner’s Equity ending balance. The formula is Owner’s Capital + Net Income - Withdrawals

$12,940 + 3,580 - 790 = $15,730
