Calculation of addition to retained earnings:

It is given that Griffin's Goat Farm, Inc., has sales of $671,000, costs of $333,000, depreciation expense of $77,000, interest expense of $48,500, a tax rate of 24 percent, and paid out $44,500 in cash dividends.

The addition to retained earnings can be calculated as follows:

Sales                                                       $671,000

Less: Costs                                            $333,000

Less: Depreciation Expense                $77,000

Less: Interest Expense                        $48,500

Profit before tax =                                $212,500

Less: Tax (212500*24%) =                  $51,000

Net Profit =                                          $161500

Less: Dividends                                  $44,500

Net Addition to the retained earnings = $117,000

Hence, in addition to retained earnings is $117,000
