Answer:
Explanation:
1. The computation of the ending retained earning balance is shown below:
The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings (+ net income /- net loss) - dividend paid
= $50,000 - $5,500 - $10,000
= $34,500
2. The Net income would be zero As the debit side total is $75,500 which indicates total expenses whereas the credit side would be revenues + loss = $70,000 + $5,500 = $75,500
3. The journal entry is shown below:
Income summary A/c Dr $5,500
To Retained earning $5,500
(Being the difference is credited to retained earning)
