Answer 1

Answer:

The owners' equity account at the end of the year was $43,790

Explanation:

Net Income is added to the equity balance. The dividend and buyback are the contra equity accounts so, these are deducted from the equity value to reach at ending balance.

Beginning owners' equity =   $50,435

+ Net Income =                        $6,675

- Dividend Payment =             $4,535

- Company equity buyback = $8,785

Ending owners equity =         $43,790

The owners' equity account at the end of the year was $43,790.
