When a company borrows money from the bank, they have not earned any income. They have increased their assets, in the form of the cash they receive from the bank, and they have also created a corresponding liability for the amount they owe the bank. The accounting entry for a $1,000,000 loan from XYZ Bank would look like this: Cash $1,000,000 Loan from XYZ Bank $1,000,000

How does the issuing of capital stock effect net income?

Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but issuing capital stock increases total assets. If one considers total assets when calculating net income, any capital stock or additional paid in capital must be deducted from total assets in order to find net income. Issuance of stock does not contribute to income from operations; it is a financing activity that contributes to total equity. Also, if there are dividend payments for the year, these outflows must be added to assets before arriving at net income.
