Best Answer

The term that you are looking for is 'retained earnings'. These are excess profits that may or may not be reinvested back into a business. They are ususally based on a percent of net earnings that are not paid out as dividends. Retained earnings are also used to pay debt and are recorded on the balance sheet under Shareholders' Equity.Also referred to as 'retained surplus' or 'undistributed profits', retained earnings are derived by adding net income to or subtracting net losses from beginning retained earnings less dividends paid to shareholders.
