Answer:

The balance in retained earnings will be $3,810

Explanation:

For computing the ending balance of the retained earning, first, we have to compute the net income

So, the net income would be equal to

= Service revenue + interest revenue - Salaries and wages expense - Travel expense

= $206 + $31 - $90 - $37

= $110

Now we can find out the ending balance of retained earnings. It is shown below:

= Beginning retained earning balance + net income - dividend paid

= $3,700 + $110 - $0

= $3,810
