0 + Net Income - 0 = $12,600

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

cash on hand and in the bank, $75,600;

amounts due from customers from sales of books, $39,000;

unused portion of store and office equipment, $73,000

amounts owed to publishers for books purchased, $12,000;

one-year note payable to a local bank for $3,000

Common Stock $160,000 (80,000 x 2)
