Answer:

a. $32,039

b. $19,439

c. -$12,961

d. $9,639

Explanation:

We will use accounting equation to solve the above question.

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Also;

Net income will be the difference in equity plus dividends minus contributions

= [Ending equity - Beginning equity ] + Dividends

Since the beginning and ending equity is the same for all the years, then we'll have

$71,500 = $30,652 + Equity

Equity = $40,848

Ending equity = $122,500 - $49,613

= $72,887

a. Income : $72,887 - $40,848 + 0 - 0

= $32,039

b. $72,887 - $40,848 + $1,050 × 12 - 0

= $19,439

c. $72,887 - $40,848 + 0 - $45,000

= -12,961

d. $72,887 - $40,848 + $1,050 × 12 - $35,000

= $32,039 + $12,600 - $35,000

= $9,639
