Here is the question:
The beginning balance of retained earnings was $7,500. The dividends paid to stockholders' were $1,500. The ending balance of retained earnings is $5,000. What was the net income or net loss for the accounting period?
Is this correct:
7,500-1,500=6,000
6,000-5,000=1,000 (why would this be net loss?)
Thanks a bunch!
