Retained earnings represent the amount a company has left after it has paid all its expenses, taxes, and dividends. A company can return all the cash it has left after it has taken care of its obligations, but that would handicap its efforts to expand operations, make acquisitions, and replace equipment.
Retained earnings shows the cumulative profits of a business over time. Each year, the retained earnings balance on the first day of the fiscal year is equal to the ending retained earnings balance from the end of the last year.eginning with ending retained earnings, add back any dividends paid. Then subtract net income from the current period, as shown on the income statement. The result is the beginning retained earnings.
