Davon Hood · Answer 1

The addition to retained earnings is $95,751.

Explanation:

Addition to the retained earning is the net value of net earning of the year and dividend payment.

Net income

Sales $686,723

Costs ($335,000)

Gross income $351,723

Depreciation Expense ($80,000)

Income before interest and tax $271,723

Interest Expense ($45,000)

Income before tax $226,723

Tax 22% ($49,879)

Net Income $176,844

Addition to Retained Earning = Net Income - Dividend Payment

Addition to Retained Earning = $176,844 - $81,093

Addition to Retained Earning = $95,751
