    Closing retained earning is $414,540

    Explanation:

    The Retained Earnings figure can be calculated using the following equation:

    Closing Retained Earnings = Opening Retained Earnings + (Sales - Expenses - Dividends)

    Here

    Opening balance of Retained Earning is $397,620

    Revenues is $56,400

    Expenses are $33,840

    Dividends paid are $5,640

    The purchased equipment is not considered here because it is increase in asset not an increase or decrease in revenue or expenses. So it is not considered here.

    So by putting values, we have:

    Closing Retained Earnings = $397,620 + ($56,400 - $33,840 - $5,640)

    Closing Retained Earnings = $414,540
