    Your problem does not say what year of operations your balance sheet covers. Also you will need other information like dividends declared or paid during the year and additional shares of common stock issued during the period.

    Based purely on the information provided simply subtract your net income for the previous year from retained earnings to get your answer. Unless there is additional information.
