To prepare the retained earnings statement for Rockwell Inc. for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016,

Given information:

Retained earnings, July 1, 2015: $3,900,000

Net income for the year ended June 30, 2016: $714,000

Cash dividends declared: $100,000

Stock dividends declared: $50,000

Retained earnings statement calculation:

Starting Retained Earnings (July 1, 2015): $3,900,000

Add Net Income for the year ended June 30, 2016:

Net income = $714,000

Total earnings available = Starting Retained Earnings + Net Income

Total earnings available = $3,900,000 + $714,000 = $4,614,000

Subtract Dividends Declared (Cash Dividends + Stock Dividends):

Cash dividends = $100,000

Stock dividends = $50,000

Total dividends declared = Cash Dividends + Stock Dividends

Total dividends declared = $100,000 + $50,000 = $150,000

Retained Earnings, June 30, 2016 = Total earnings available - Total dividends declared

Retained Earnings, June 30, 2016 = $4,614,000 - $150,000 = $4,464,000

Therefore, the retained earnings for Rockwell Inc. for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, amount to $4,464,000.
