    Given:

    $500,000 beg. balance in retained earnings.

    $200,000 net income for the year

    $1,000,000 sales revenue

    $100,000 dividends declared and paid by year-end

    Retained earning is the amount left from net income after dividends have been paid. In the given data, sales revenue is not included in the Retained earnings report. It is reflected in the Income statement which generates the Net income.

    Retained Earnings, beg. balance 500,000

    Add: Net Income for the year 200,000

    Total 700,000

    Less: Dividends declared and paid this year (100,000)

    Retained Earnings, end balance 600,000
