Madeleine Suarez · Answer 1

The answer is $726,000

Explanation:

Ending inventory=

Opening/beginning retained earnings

Plus net income

Minus Dividend paid.

To find net income:

Revenue - expense

$587000 - $376000

=$211,000

Beginning Retained Earnings is $658000

Dividend paid is $143000

Therefore, ending retained earnings is

$658, 000 + $211,000 - $143,000

=$726,000
