2. The retained earnings balance was $60,580 as of June 30, 2017. However, in the month of August, dividends of $20,000 are declared and paid. Therefore, we have deducted such amount as it would be paid out of retained earnings. The current quarter budgeted income after provision for income taxes assessed at 35%, amounts to $7,254 which will be transferred to the retained earnings respectively.
3. The income taxes payable $3,906 (budgeted income $11,160 * 35%) is assessed at 35% of the budgeted income in the current quarter and to be paid in October respectively.
4. Due to shortfall in the cash balance at the end of the month of September, we have obtained short-term note of $14,380 to have a minimum required cash balance of $40,000 respectively.
