It's pretty easy. The basic financial equation is: Assets = Equity + Liabilities. A part of equity is retained earnings. Retained earnings = net income - dividends Equity = Assets - Liabilities
The opening balance equity represents the initial investment or capital contributed by the owners when the company was first established. Retained earnings, on the other hand, are the accumulated profits or losses that the company has retained over time. In summary, opening balance equity is the starting point of a company's financial position, while retained earnings reflect the company's ongoing financial performance.

Owner's Equity = Contributed Capital ± Retained Earnings Contributed capital is money that has been contributed to a company by its owners or by a direct investment made by stockholders in a corporation. A company would have stockholders if that company sells shares or stock. Retained earnings is a companys' accumulated profits that have been put back or reinvested into the company. Some examples of retained earnings are supplies expense, rent expense, wages expense, interest expense, utilities expense, sales revenue, cost of goods sold, and depreciation expense. A return on equity (ROE) is the net income divided by stockholders' equity. Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity
