5 End of the year Equity          78540      78540      78540      78540

Explanation:

Equity = Assets - Liability

Beginning of the year = 76500 - 32796 = $43,704

End of the year = 132000 - 53460 = 78540

Net income = End of year equity -  (Beginning of the year Equity + Owner's Investment - Dividends)

a) Net income = 5 -  (1 + 2 - 3)

                   = 78540 - (43704  + 0 - 0)

                   = 34,836

b) Dividend of 850 per month = 850 * 12 = 10,200

Net income = 5 -  (1 + 2 - 3)

                   = 78540 - (43704  + 0 - 10200)

                   = 45,036

c) Net Income = 5 -  (1 + 2 - 3)

                       = 78540 - (43704  + 45000 - 0)

                       = -10,164

d) Dividend of 850 per month = 850 * 12 = 10,200

Net Income = 5 -  (1 + 2 - 3)

                     = 78540 - (43704  + 35000 - 10200)

                       = 10,036

Owner's investment increases equity
