Explanation:

A Balance Sheet show the Assets, Liabilities and Equity Balances as at the Reporting date

Retained Earnings Balance = Opening Balance + Profit for the year - Dividends.

where,

Profit for the Year = Sales - Expenses

                              = $470,000 - ($78,000 + $18,000 + $33,000 + $2,000 + $42,000)

                              = $297,000

therefore,

Retained Earnings Balance = $94,700 + $297,000  - 30,000 = $361,700
