A company's retained earnings at the beginning and ending of the accounting period were $100,000 and $120,000, respectively. Common stock at the end of the year was $90,000. If the company had dividends of $3,000 and revenues of $280,000, the amount of expenses must have been?

257,000 R/E end =R/E beg+Revenue-Expenses-Dividends R/E end =Retained Earnings at the end of the period R/E beg =Retained Earnings at the begining of the period So, by plugging the numbers we have: 120,000=100,000+280,000-Expenses-3,000 Expenses=100,000+280,000-3,000-120,000=257,000 While Common Stock stands for the amount invested by owners, the Retained earnings represent earned capital for investors. Naturally, earned capital increases when the company is profitable (net income is positive, which in turns means that revenues are bigger than expenses). Also, each time the company shares the profits with owners in form of Dividends, there is less earned capital left within the company, thus Retained earnings go down. In sum, at this point, we cover only three types accounts that may effect Retained Earnings: revenues (make Retained Earnings go up), expenses (make Retained Earnings go down) and dividends (make Retained Earnings go down).

428,000 Assets accounts from the list: Cash, Accounts receivable, Inventory, Land 30,000 + 100,000 +138,000 + 160,000 = 428,000 Revenue is not an asset account!
