Total Stockholder's equity = Total assets - Total liabilities

                                            =  $220,000 - $66,000

                                            = $154,000

After-closing balance of Retained Earnings = Total Stockholder's equity - Common stock

                                                                        = $154,000 - $110,000

                                                                        = $44,000

(a) Before-closing balance in the Retained Earnings account on December 31, Year 1.

Net Income = Revenue - Expenses

                   = $40,000 -  $23,000

                   = $17,000

Before-closing balance of Retained Earnings:

= After-closing balance of Retained Earnings + Dividend paid - Net Income

= $44,000 + $3,200 - $17,000

= $30,200

(c) Before-closing balances in the following accounts:

Revenue = $40,000

Expenses = $23,000

Dividend = $3,200

(d) After-closing balances in the following accounts:

Revenue = $0

Expenses = $0

Because revenue and expenses are transferred to income statement and dividend are transferred to retained earnings.

what are the sentences? so we can answer the question.

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
