[FONT=verdana, arial, sans-serif][COLOR=#000000]Okay, this is the question I need to answer. I have answered most of it so far, but I'm not sure how to get the unadjusted retained earnings as of January 1, 2014. I'm also not sure on the second part of this question (shown below) what restricting retained earnings does on an income statement.
