Madrid Company has provided the following data (ignore income taxes):
2014 revenues were $77,500
2014 net income was $33,900
Dividends declared and paid during 2014 totaled $5,700
Total assets at December 31, 2014 were $217,000
Total stockholders' equity at December 31, 2014 was $123,000

December 31, 2014? - ANSWER:Retained earnings increases by the amount of net
income which is $33,900 for the year and decreases by the dividends declared which
