Acompany reports an increase in retained earnings of $3.0 billion and net income of $6.5 billion. what is the amount of dividends? a company reports an increase in retained earnings of $3.2 billion and dividends of $2.4 billion. what is the amount of net income? a company reports an increase in retained earnings of $1.58 billion and net income of $1.58 billion. what is the amount of dividends? a company reports beginning retained earnings of −$1.64 billion, net loss of $0.98 billion, and $0 dividends. what is the amount of ending retained earnings? a company reports ending retained earnings of $1.52 billion, net income of $0.41 billion, and dividends of $0.04 billion. what is the amount of beginning retained earnings?

1. Dividends = NET PROFIT - Retained Earnings = $3.5 billion

2. Net Profit = Dividends + Retained Earnings = $5.6 billion

3. Dividends = NET PROFIT - Retained Earnings = $0

4. Ending Retained Earnings = Beginning Retained Earnings - Net loss - dividends. -1.68 - 0.98 - 0 = - $2.66 billion

5. Therefore Beginning Retained Earnings = 1.52-0.41+0.04 = $1.15 billion.

Explanation:

The equation is: NET PROFIT- DIVIDENDS = RETAINED PROFITS

Therefore:

1. A company reports an increase in retained earnings of $3.0 billion and net income of $6.5 billion. What is the amount of dividends?

Dividends = NET PROFIT - Retained Earnings = $3.5 billion

2. A company reports an increase in retained earnings of $3.2 billion and dividends of $2.4 billion. What is the amount of net income?

Net Profit = Dividends + Retained Earnings = $5.6 billion

3. A company reports an increase in retained earnings of $1.58 billion and net income of $1.58 billion. What is the amount of dividends?

Dividends = NET PROFIT - Retained Earnings = $0

4. A company reports beginning retained earnings of −$1.64 billion, net loss of $0.98 billion, and $0 dividends. What is the amount of ending retained earnings?

Ending Retained Earnings = Beginning Retained Earnings - Net loss - dividends. -1.68 - 0.98 - 0 = - $2.66 billion

5. A company reports ending retained earnings of $1.52 billion, net income of $0.41 billion, and dividends of $0.04 billion. What is the amount of beginning retained earnings?

Ending Retained Earnings = Beginning Retained Earnings + Net income - dividends.

1.52 = Beginning Retained Earnings + 0.41 - 0.04

Therefore Beginning Retained Earnings = 1.52-0.41+0.04 = $1.15 billion.
