The addition to retained earnings can be calculated as follows:

Sales                                                       $671,000

Less: Costs                                            $333,000

Less: Depreciation Expense                $77,000

Less: Interest Expense                        $48,500

Profit before tax =                                $212,500

Less: Tax (212500*24%) =                  $51,000

Net Profit =                                          $161500
