    Th answer is: net income for year 2 is $45,000

    Explanation:

    We must first determine the equity for both years (equity = assets - liabilities)

    Equity year 1 = $940,000 - $300,000 = $640,000 Equity year 2 = $995,000 - $270,000 = $725,000

    Then we calculate the change in equity:

    change in equity = $725,000 - $640,000 = $85,000

    Finally to determine the net income or year 2 we use the following formula:

    Net income (Y2) = change in equity - additional investments + dividends paid

    net income (Y2) = $85,000 - $73,000 + $33,000 = $45,000
