Eagle corp. operates magnetic resonance imaging (mri) clinics throughout the northeast. at the end of the current period, the company reports the following amounts: assets = $43,500; liabilities = $20,500; dividends = $2,140; revenues = $13,100; expenses = $8,200.
1) calculate net income.
2) calculate stockholders' equity at the end of the period.

Net income is simply Revenues - Expenses.

In this case 13100-8200=4900
 
For the second question, first we need to find out what the Shareholders Equity portion of balance sheet is.

Assets= Liabilities+Shareholders Equity.

From this we can determine S/E: 43500=20500+S/E S/E=23000
 
Now we need to consider the year's Net Income.

From previous question we know that its 4900, however we have to take into account that dividends are payed out of this amount.

Therefore the retained earnings after dividends are 4900-2140=2760.
 
The total stockholder's equity is 23000+2760=25760.
