Can somone please look at this and let me know if I am correct ?

During 2006, Edgemont Corporation had revenues of $230,000 and expenses, including income taxes of $190,000. On December 31, 2005, Edgemont had assets of $350,000, liabilities of $80,000 and capital stock of $210,000. Edgemont paid a cash dividend of $25,000 in 2006. No additional stock was issued. Compute the retained earnings on December 31, 2005, and 2006.

230,000 + 350,000 - 80,000 - 210,000 + 25,000 = $315,000..

Am I on the right track here?

Thanks,.
