Answer:

$13,000 is the year-end balance in retained earnings for K and J Nursery, Inc.

Explanation:

Total Assets = Cash + Account Receivable + Inventory + Equipment

Total Assets = 35,000 + 30,000 + 44,000 + 99,000

Total Assets = 208,000

Total Liabilities = Account Payable + Salaries Payable + Interest Payable + Note Payable

Total Liabilities = 33,000 + 14,500 + 10,500 + 49,000

Total Liabilities = 107,000

Total Assets = Total Equity + Total Liabilities

Total Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities

Total Equity = 208,000 - 107,000

Total Equity = 101,000

Retained Earning = Total Equity - Common Stock

Retained Earning = 101,000 - 88,000

Retained Earning = 13,000
