<h2><u>

Current Assets
Cash $57.2
Receivables $0.5
Non Current Assets
Investment Assets $79.4
Property, Plant and Equipment $1.6
Other Assets <u> $9.3 </u>
Total Assets <u> $148 </u>

Closing Retained Earnings (Step1) <u> $3.3 </u>
Total Equity <u> $42.5</u>
<u></u>
<u>Step 1: Find Closing Retained Earnings</u>
As we know that:
Closing Retained Earnings = Total Assets - Total Liabilities - Common Stock
Here
Total Assets is $148 million
Total liabilities is $105.5 million
Common Stock is $39.2 million
By putting these values in the above equation, we have:
Closing Retained Earnings = $148 million - $105.5 million - $39.2 million
Closing Retained Earnings = <u>$3.3 million</u>
