Can someone 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,

R/E Dec. 31/05 = 60,000

Calculation: 350,000 - 80,000 - 250,000

R/E Dec. 31/06 = 75,000

Calculation: 60,000 - 25,000 (dividends + 40,000 (net income which is 230K - 190K)

Thank you so much for your reply. I have another question though.. I cannot figure out where you came up w/ the 250,000 and the 60,000

It should read 210,000, not 250,000. I hit the wrong key.
