Respuesta :

Answer:

$49.137 million

Explanation:

The accounting equation gives the relationship between the elements of a balance sheet as

Assets =  Liabilities + Equity

Equity is further divided into common stock and retained earnings which is the accumulated net income over the years net of dividends declared and settled.

Equity = Common stock + Retained earnings

Equity = $127.921 million - $74.974 million

= $52.947  million

Retained earnings = $52.947  million - $3.810 million

= $49.137 million
