I am preparing my retained earnings statement for the following question. I would like to know am I'm heading in the right direction?
The Olathe Hotel opened for business on May 1, 2010. Here is its trial balance before adjustment on May 31.

Other data:
1. Insurance expires at the rate of $300 per month.
2. A count of supplies shows $1,050 of unused supplies on May 31.
3. Annual depreciation is $3,600 on the lodge and $3,000 on furniture.
4. The mortgage interest rate is 7%. (The mortgage was taken out on May 1.)
5. Unearned rent of $2,500 has been earned.
6. Salaries of $750 are accrued and unpaid at May 31.
After doing my t-accounts and adjusting trail balance the balance is $122870 now when doing my income statement it is (3800) which is negative correct? So if this is negative then is my retained earnings negative as well?
