Calculate Thelma and Louie’s net income for the year.

Respuesta :

Answer:

$161 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Opening Retained earnings balance = $547 million

Ending retained earnings balance = $594 million

Dividends paid to preferred stockholders = $37 million

Dividends paid to common stockholders = $77 million

Net Income:

= Change in Retained earnings + Preferred Stock Dividend + Common Stock Dividend

= ($594 million - $547 million) + $37 million + $77 million

= $47 million + $37 million + $77 million

= $161 million
