How do I get the total for Shareholder's Equity and net income for 2015 if I have the info below. Beginning Retained earning for 2016 was given as 5,173,286 which I know I could use as ending RE for 2015. However, I tried to calculate how they was able to get to that number and I could not come up with a number that would match that. Thank you.
