To determine

Retained Earnings

The monetary benefits or profits earned by the company after deducting the amount of dividends being paid and distributions if any, to the investors. When a company's rate of dividend distribution is higher than the rate of its revenues then the negative balance of the said account is known as accumulated deficit. A company requires retained earnings more in the initial period of its growth to fulfill its primary goals and survive as a financially sound company in the long run.

To prepare: Statement of retained earnings.
