Please start your own thread for you question. Continually tagging onto other people's just creates long threads with irrelevant stuff and keeps old threads alive. I've moved yours to its own thread.

+ Net Income
- Dividends
= Ending Retained Earnings

And you also have to get the net income by applying the tax rate to the income before tax.
