    Net income = $39,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the amount of net income or net loss is presented below:

    As we know that

    The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income or net loss - cash dividend paid

    $88,000 = $70,000 + net income or net loss - $21,000

    $88,000 = $49,000 + net income or net loss

    So, the net income is

    = 88,000 - $49,000

    = $39,000
