From your problem the computation goes like this: asset-liabilities=owner's equity/capital;
220,000-130,000=90,000.
The 90,000 is the owner's equity ending balances for the year.
Then second,compute for the net income, do this format: owner's equity balance at the end of the year+ investment -withdrawals of the owner;
90,000-22,000=68,000
the net income for the year is 68,000. From the computation above it seems that we d0nt add anything coz there is no additional investment.

ok now here is another alternative to the problem. Using the same beg and ending assets and liabilities :
We made an investment in to the business of 13,000 but made no withdrawals .
This is really confusing to me .
Can you show me step by step what you did to arrive at the answer .

I think I have it now
Assets 220,000 - liabilites 130,000 = OE 90,000
OE 90,000 + investment 13,000 = 103,000 which is their net income for the year
is this right ty

I try to help you..
Beginning of the year asset of $140,000,is the Asset you have,let say on your first opening of your business..at the end of the year,your End of the year assets is $220,000 meaning your asset grow at the end of the year equivalent to $80,000($220,000-$140,000)..
Beginning of the year liabilities of,is a liabilities you have,let say on your first opening of your business..(i.e,Loan..etc)...at the end of the year,your end of the year liabilities is $130,000 meaning your liabilities increases by $75,000($130,000-55,000)
your equity or net worth for the year end is $90,000($220,000-130,000)-$22,000 withdrawal your total EQUITY IS EQUAL TO $68,000
YOUR NET INCOME IS equal to REVENUE less EXPENSES or Sale less cost of sale less expenses..
IN this case, the transaction is limited we cannot derive at net income..

Your question is solvable with the accounting equation. Which is asset=liabilities+owner's equity/capital.
From your problem we should compute for the net income/loss for the year. From your given deduct the ending asset balances to your ending liabilities balances to get the answer which is the value of owner's equity.Then after you get the owner's equity balances, since there is no investment done only withdrawal.Then we should deduct the withdrawal to the owner's equity balances.
