Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

Changes during the year :

Liabilities = $16,000 Increase ($31,000 - $15,000)

Assets = $21,000 Increase

Accounting Equation states that :

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

Change in equity during the year will be :

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

           = $5,000

Causes of change in equity :

Capital                         $5,000

Add Dividends           ($2,000)

Add Change                $5,000

Profit during the year  $8,000

therefore,

Net Income for the year was $8,000
