The net income for the month of April is $70,000

Explanation:

By using the Accounting equation, we will determine the ending and beginning retained earnings is as:

The accounting equation is

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder's equity

Assets = Liabilities + (Common Stock + Retained Earnings [RE])

$116,000 = $47,000 + ($14,000 + RE)

RE = $116,000 - $47,000 - $14,000

Beginning RE = $55,000

Computing ending RE as:

Ending RE = Assets - Liabilities - Common Stock

= $192,000 - $53,000 - $14,000

= $125,000

Now computing the Net Income as:

Beginning RE + Net Income (NI) = Ending Inventory

$55,000 + NI = $125,000

NI = $125,000 - $55,000

NI = 70,000
