Step-by-step explanation:

The Retained Earnings Statement is prepared to show changes in the amount of retained earnings over the accountable period. Retained earnings and Stockholders´ contributions are the main accounts in Stockholders´ Equity.

The first ones are profits reserved by the company to invest in future projects rather than distribute as dividends to shareholders, that’s why are calculated as follows:

Retained Earnings Final Balance = Retained Earnings Beginning balance – Dividend in cash – Stock dividend + Net Income – Net loss.

Stock Divided will register as Stockholders´ contributions.
