Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the net income or loss for the year is shown below:
As we know that
Ending retained earnings balance = beginning retained earning balance + net income or net loss - dividend paid
$35,000 = $30,000 + net income or net loss - $13,000
$35,000 = $17,000 + net income or net loss
So, the net income or net loss is $18,000
