Kate Ramsey · Answer 1

net income during 2019 = $109,045

Explanation:

total stockholder equity 2018 = assets - liabilities = $293,500 - $79,245 = $214,255

total stockholder equity 2019 = assets - liabilities = $497,512 - $177,212 = $320,300

change in equity from 2018 to 2019 = $106,045

$33,000 can be explained by additional capital invested, and the remaining $73,045 corresponds to change in retained earnings

change in retained earnings = net income - dividends distributed

$73,045 = net income - $36,000

net income = $109,045
