The amount of increase in retained earnings is computed as shown below:
= Sales - Cost of goods sold - Sales, general and administrative expense - depreciation expense - Interest expense - taxes - dividend paid
= $ 48,000,000 - $ 15,500,000 - $ 3,600,000 - $ 1,200,000 - $ 550,000 - $ 4,125,000 - $ 1,900,000
= $ 21,125,000
Gross income is computed as shown below:
= Sales - Cost of goods sold
= $ 48,000,000 - $ 15,500,000
= $ 32,500,000
