    Retained Earnings ?
    Inventory $75,000

    Question:
    What’s Bear’s Retained earnings balance at the end of 20X9??

    I came up with this can you tell me if I'm right...

    A= L+SE+RE

    410,000=140,000+150,000+RE
    =290,000+RE
    410,000-290,000=120,000

    I:e Retained Earnings is $120,000.00
