Aikman Company paid dividends of $2,490, $0, $1,470 and $1,080 over the first four years of the company's existence, respectively. If Retained Earnings has an ending balance of $10,400 at the end of year four, what was the average annual amount of net income (loss) over the first four years for Aikman?
