    (b) After-closing balance in the Retained Earnings account on December 31, Year 1,

    Total Stockholder's equity = Total assets - Total liabilities

    = $220,000 - $66,000

    = $154,000

    After-closing balance of Retained Earnings = Total Stockholder's equity - Common stock

    = $154,000 - $110,000

    = $44,000

    (a) Before-closing balance in the Retained Earnings account on December 31, Year 1.

    Net Income = Revenue - Expenses

    = $40,000 - $23,000

    = $17,000

    Before-closing balance of Retained Earnings:

    = After-closing balance of Retained Earnings + Dividend paid - Net Income

    = $44,000 + $3,200 - $17,000

    = $30,200

    (c) Before-closing balances in the following accounts:

    Revenue = $40,000

    Expenses = $23,000

    Dividend = $3,200

    (d) After-closing balances in the following accounts:

    Revenue = $0

    Expenses = $0

    Dividend = $0

    Because revenue and expenses are transferred to income statement and dividend are transferred to retained earnings.
