Comprehensive income is a broader measure of a company's financial performance that includes all non-owner changes in equity. It includes items that are not included in net income, such as unrealized gains or losses on investments, foreign currency translation adjustments, and changes in the market value of certain financial instruments.
While comprehensive income does not directly impact net income or retained earnings, it is reported on the company's financial statements and disclosed to provide a more comprehensive view of the company's financial performance to stakeholders. It is more of a supplementary measure to net income and retained earnings.
Dividends act as a debit to Retained Earnings. Net Income is closed out by Crediting a gain to Retained Earnings which is a permenant equity account. Therefore Dividends are not a reduction to Net Income but instead a reduction of Retained Earnings and further of Owners Equity. As you may note, this also means that since Dividends are not included in Net Income they are not Tax Deductable which for many years resulted in double taxation of dividend income. Once at the corporate level and again at the personal level. Ex: In the financial statements it is going to be looking like this: Income Statement: Revenue-Expenses=Net Income Statement of Retained Earnings: Begging Retained Earning+Net Income-Dividends= Ending Retained Earnings
No, retained earnings comes after Net Income on the Income Statement. The retained earnings is less than the Net Income if a dividend is paid out.
Since increases in retained earnings mostly come from income accumulation, a net income of $95,000 will increase retained earnings.
If company has the policy to not distribute profit as a dividend then retained earnings will be equal to net income otherwise dividend and retained earnings will be equal to net income.
