(a) 2018:

Net income:

= Cash revenue - Cash expenses

= $19,000 - $10,500

= $8,500

Retained earnings = $8,500

2019:

Net income:

= Cash revenue - Cash expenses

= $29,000 - $13,500

= $15,500

Retained earnings = $8,500 + $15,500

= $24,000

2020:

Net income:

= Cash revenue - Cash expenses

= $39,000 - $21,500

= $17,500

Retained earnings = $24,000 + $17,500

= $41,500

(b) 2019:

Net income:

= Cash revenue - Cash expenses

= $29,000 - $13,500

= $15,500

Retained earnings = $8,500 + $15,500 - $4,750

= $19,250

2020:

Net income:

= Cash revenue - Cash expenses

= $39,000 - $21,500

= $17,500

Retained earnings = $19,250 + $17,500

= $36,750
