Obviously I don't know if the actual numbers are correct, or if you missed something, or anything like that since I can't see the original, but everything's in the correct order and sub-totals all correct, etc. Through this point.
This, however, is not 40% of earnings before tax.
And even if 36,000 were correct, 186,000 less 36,000 doesn't equal 175,000
You need to do some checking of that math there.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do here. You've just listed the RE beginning balance and the dividends. But I don't know why you listed it, because you haven't actually done anything with it. It doesn't belong on the income statement.
Are you supposed to also be doing a balance sheet?
