Explanation:

For computing the ending balance of retained earnings, first we have to compute the net income or net loss which is shown below:

Net income = Service revenue  - Salaries and wages expense - Rent expense - Depreciation expense

= $1,151,000 - $366,000 - $91,500 0 $457,500

= $236,000

Now The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

= $584,000 + $236,000 - $85,000

= $735,000
