It's pretty easy. The basic financial equation is: Assets = Equity + Liabilities. A part of equity is retained earnings.

Retained earnings = net income - dividends

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

What is the net income if a company has a debt equity ratio of 1.40 return on assets is 8.7 percent and total equity is USD520000?

Return on assets is Net income/ total assets. Hence to arrive at net income we should ascertain total assets first, as the return on assets is provided at 8.7%. Total assets is sum of Equity plus Debt plus Other liabilities. We have total equity at USD 520000. Hence debt can be ascertained from the Debt Equity ratio at 1.40. But what about other liabilities? As it is not provided we will not be able to compute total assets and hence net income from the given particulars.

How do you calculate net income?

Net income = Net sales - Expenses. So, we need to figure out what the expenses were for the period you are interested in. Now, expenses for a period is a temporary account under Equity just like revenue (net sales). Net sales increase equity while expenses decrease equity. So, net income for a period will be the change in equity during that period. Assets - Liabilities - Owners Equity = Net Income The accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity can be rewritten to be Assets - Liabilities = Equity In this equation, Equity refers to Total Equity which is Owners Equity plus Net Income. You don't need the net sales figure for this question


What is the reason for adding the net income for the year to the balance sheet?

Adding net income balances out the equity account, which will generally be reflected as the beginning balance of equity (prior year ending balance) before you add net income. Balancing the equity account (Beg Bal of Equity + Net Income/(Loss) = End Bal of Equity) is necessary in order to balance the Balance Sheet, since Assets = Liabilities + Equity.
