Explanation:

Calculation to determine At the end of the year, the company's equity totaled:

First step is to calculate the Net income using this formula

Net income= Revenues- Expense

Let plug in the formula

Net income= 35000-23000

Net income=12000

Second step is to calculate Net income added to capital using this formula

Net income added to capital = Net income-Cash dividend

Let plug in the formula

Net income added to capital=12000-2000

Net income added to capital=10000

Now let determine the Ending company total equity using this formula

Ending company total equity= Opening invested capital + Net income added to capital

Let plug in the formula

Ending company total equity=15000+10000

Ending company total equity=$25000

Therefore At the end of the year, the company's equity totaled:$25,000
