Answer 1

Answer:

Retained earnings on the December 31, 2019: $253,000

Explanation:

Ending balance in retained earnings is calculated by using following formula:

Ending balance in retained earnings = Beginning balance in retained earnings + Net income - Cash dividends - Stock dividends

Grizzly Company had Retained Earnings at December 31, 2018 of $210,000.  Beginning balance in retained earnings at January 01, 2019 is $210,000

Net income = Revenues - Expenses = $410,000 - $355,000 = $55,000

Ending balance in retained earnings = $210,000 + $55,000 - $12,000 = $253,000
