    The retained earnings balance at February 28, 2019 is $251,600

    Explanation:

    The computation of the ending balance of retained earning is shown below:

    The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings - net loss - dividend paid

    where,

    Net loss = Expenses - Revenue

    = $73,800 - $183,400

    = $109,600

    The other item values remain the same

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the value would equal to

    = $378,000 - $109,600 - $16,800

    = $251,600
