    The retained earnings balance on February 28, 2019 is $305.000.

    Explanation:

    Balance of the retained earnings account on February 1, 2019 = $315,000

    Revenue for February 2019 = $61,000

    Expenses for February 2019 = $65,000

    Dividend declared in February 2019 = $6,000

    Net Income = Revenue - Expenses = 61,000 - 65,000 = - 4,000

    Ending Balance of Retained Earning = Beginning balance of retained earning + net Income - dividend =

    Ending Balance of Retained Earning = $315,000 + (-4000) - $6,000

    Ending Balance of Retained Earning = $305,000

    The retained earnings balance on February 28, 2019 is $305.000.
