Respuesta :

Answer:

Retained earnings Ending balance =  $61,000

Explanation:

Retained earnings - Beginning balance      $70,000  

Add: Net income                                         (-$9,000)

Retained earnings - Ending balance          $61,000

Note:

Net Income = Service Fees Earned -  Rent Expense - Salaries Expense - Supplies Expense - Depreciation Expense

Net Income = $85,000 - $22,000 - $50,000 - $4,000 - $18,000

Net Income = -$9,000
