Answer:
Retained Earnings, December 31, 2016 = Retained Earnings, January 1, 2016 + Net Income – Dividend
Net Income = Revenue – Expenses
Revenue = $200,000
Expenses = Advertising Expense + Income Tax Expense + Rent
Expense + Supplies Expense
Expenses = $40,000 + $26,000 + $23,400 + $33,800
Expenses = $123,200
Net Income = $200,000 - $123,200
Net Income = $76,800
Retained Earnings, December 31, 2016 = Retained Earnings,
January 1, 2016 + Net Income – Dividend
Retained Earnings, December 31, 2016 = $115,720 + $76,800 -
$30,000
Retained Earnings, December 31, 2016 =
$162,520
