    Andrews ending balance in Retained Earnings next year will be $128,861

    Explanation:

    Retained Earnings is a Reserve formed from the Company's Profits retained back in the business and forms part of Shareholders Equity

    Calculation of Ending Retained Earnings is: Opening Retained Earnings Balance + Net Profit for the Year - Dividends Declared during the year.

    Andrews Company Ending Retained Earnings for Next Year will be:

    Opening Retained Earnings Balance $98,561

    Add Net Profit for the Year $46,300

    Less Dividends ($16,000)

    Ending Retained Earnings $128,861
