Acompany has retained earnings of $94,000 as of december 31, 2014. the pro-forma income statement projects net income of $22,000 for 2015. the company expects to declare their annual dividend on march 15, 2015 of $0.70 per share and has a total of 100,000 shares outstanding. what will the projected retained earnings account be as of december 31, 2015?

$46,000.

Explanation:

To know the retained earnings at the end of 2015, we first need to calculate how much dividend the company will pay to its shareholders then add up the net income in 2015 to the remaining of retained earning at the end of 2014 (after paying 2014's dividend at Mar 2015)  to get retained earnings at the end of 2015.

Total dividend in on Mar 2015 = 0.7 x 100,000 = 70,000

Retained Earning at the end of 2015 = 94,000 - 70,000 + 22,000 = 46,000.
