Solution

Aries:

Since there is no additional stock, no dividends the addition to stockholders equity is net income.

Gemini:

dividends paid is a decrease to stockholders equity, hence net income = net addition to stockholders equity + dividends paid= 34200 (28500+5700)

Leo.

Since capital stock issued 39900 is more than addition to stockholders equity, it is due to net loss of= 39900- 28500= 11400

Pisces

Net addition to retained earnings= capital stock issued + net income - dividends paid

28500 = 33100 + net income - 6800

Net income= 2200
