Sagot :

The addition to retained earning will be equal to $116505.

The total sales of Nataro Incorporated = $675000

Costs = $337000, Depreciation expense = $81000, Interest expense = $50500, Dividends = $42500 and tax rate = 23%

Earnings before taxes =Total sales - (Costs + Depreciation expense + Interest expense)

Earnings before taxes = $675000 - ($337000 + $81000 + $50500)

Earnings before taxes = $675000 - $468500

Earnings before taxes = $206500

Net Income = Earnings before taxes(1 - tax rate)

Net income = $206500(1 - 0.23)

Net income = $159005
