Answer:
Net Income $23,588
Retained Earnings $140,088
Explanation:
To calculate the value of the retained earning at the end of the next year it's necessary to find the income of the current year and then deduct the dividends paid during the year, the remaining value adds to the retained earnings.
This value that we get of retained earnings at the end of the year, it's the value missing at the end of the year to explain the accounting equation of Assets = Liabilitites + Equity
