Respuesta :

Answer:

Ending balance of retained earnings is $39,400

Explanation:

Given:

Retained earnings credit balance = $30,600

Revenue for the period = $95,200

Expenses = $70,200

Dividends = $16,200

Retained earnings ending balance after making closing entries:

Retained earnings ending balance = Retained earnings credit balance + Revenue - Expenses - Dividends

= 30,600 + 95,200 - 70,200 - 16,200

=$39,400

Therefore, retained earnings ending balance is $39,400.
