    Explanation:

    The computation of the expected balance in retained earnings on the 2018 is shown below:

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

    = $533,500 + $112,000 - $40,000

    = $605,500

    We simply applied the above formula so that the ending balance could arrive by considering all the items given in the question
