Prepare a retained earnings statement for the month of June.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

For preparing the retained earning statement first we have to determine the net income or net loss which is shown below:

= Service revenue - supplies expense - Maintenance and repairs expense - advertising expense - utilities expense - salaries and wages expense

= $7,800 - $1,100 - $690 - $400 - $210 - $1,500

= $3,900

Now the preparation of the retained earning statement is presented below:
