Explanation / Answer
Opening balance in retained earnings=$3,450,000
Profit =$13,560,000-$11,180,000=$2,380,000
so tax on the above profit=$2,380,000*30%=$714,000
Income tax payments accounted wrongly as expenses so actual income tax expense provided
=$1,179,000-$525,000=$654,000
so the balance of retained earnings=$3,450,000+$2,380,000-$654,000=$5,176,000
