I am having a hard time understanding this and need to know what am I suppose to be looking for. 10 points to the one with the best answer.

Prepare a retained earnings statement for the month ending november 30,2011

Retained Earnings = Beginning balance + net income - dividends.

20,000 = 0 + Net income - 10,000

Net income = 30,000

RETAINED EARNINGS STATEMENT

Total Assets. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . \$80,000

By the way, if you need to know what the revenues were, you would add the net income to the total expenses. Should be 132,000
