    Packard's retained earnings account balance at the end of Year 1 = $ (1,300 + $ 770 + $ 950) - $ 320 - $ 120

    = $ 3020 - ($ 320 + $ 120)

    = $ 2580

    Explanation:

    All the inflow items are below -

    (1) Acquired $1,300 cash from the issue of common stock.

    (2) Borrowed $770 from a bank.

    (3) Earned $950 of revenues cash.

    All the outflow items are below -

    (1) Paid expenses of $320.

    (2) Paid a $120 dividend.

    Hence, Packard's retained earnings account balance at the end of Year 1 is the sum of all the inflow items minus the sum of all the outflow items as shown in the answer.
