hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo watch the video
[16]
till the end and also if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us
[20]
by clicking the bell ican friend today we're going to learn a concept which is
[24]
retained earnings now retain earnings is one of the most important part of any
[29]
balance sheet on the liability section shareholders equity in the liabilities
[33]
part it has been recorded there's an extract over here I wanted you to have a
[37]
exactly a picturization view of where exactly the retained earnings in recorded
[43]
as you can see in the shareholders equity there's a common stock there's
[45]
additional paid in capital and we have the retain earning retained earnings is
[49]
sort of a profit now let's try and understand this in a complete detail
[53]
format now we need to first understand that what exactly retained earning is all
[56]
about see reading earnings is basically the part of the net income okay or you
[61]
can say it is the part of the net profit which has been retained by the company
[65]
and after paying any sort of a dividend that are to the shareholders it is hence
[69]
you know after paying the rivet in it it is also known as your retain the surplus
[74]
known as your written surplus or you can also call that humilated earnings that
[80]
is also a good word so a company retains a part of the net profit on in the
[84]
financial year so as to fund the future projects invest in the new businesses
[89]
acquisitions or taker of other companies or paying of the debts it's been used
[93]
now let's understand the retain earnings formula so that we have exactly the idea
[97]
how the things are been calculated region earning is like you know the
[101]
beginning retained earnings then you have the net income that you earn during
[104]
the year that's your profit and loss PNL you need to deduct any sort of dividend
[110]
that you have paid during the year and that will give you your ending our a
[115]
that is region earning so let's look at the components of the re formula one by
[120]
the first component is going to be the beginning our you know the beginning re
[124]
is basically and accumulated surplus which is at the beginning of the
[132]
financially of now an amount will be added over here or it may be subtracted
[137]
also it's not compensated things can be added or it can be subtracted things can
[141]
be added or it can be subtracted let's say it has been added
[145]
an amount will be added or subtracted from the beginning re which will be
[149]
reported at the end of the financial year and the amount depends on the
[153]
profit and loss made by the company and any sub that is given in the form of the
[156]
dividend to the share hole now let's understand the net income
[159]
portion of the part of the region on EC net income is the company's you can see
[163]
the total earning what is it it is the total earnings of the company now in the
[169]
financial year basically which is calculated by subtracting any expenses
[172]
such as you know the material cost General General and admin it wind
[176]
expenses salary of the employees appreciation amortization interest to be
[180]
paid on their taxes from the revenue earned by the company and so on and so
[184]
forth so if the revenue is let's say more or if it is greater than all the
[188]
expenses the company earns on net profit or else you know the company incurs a
[193]
net loss for the particular year so the net income is also called the bottom
[197]
line of the company and in it it appears on the income statement of the company
[203]
the next that is the dividend the dividend is the portion of the earnings
[207]
that has been distributed by the company to the shareholders as a reward or for
[211]
the investment in the company so the dividend can be in the form of
[214]
the cash payments or the stock payments they also called us the bonus issues in
[221]
case the company issues bonus shares it increases the can say the common common
[225]
shares that increases and you know the paid in capital amount on the balance
[230]
sheet also so to maintain the retained earning in the balance sheet such
[234]
amount decreases from the RE and you know more of dividend paid by the company
[239]
less is the retained earning in the balance sheet that should be like very
[242]
logical no there's a debate you know how much the company should retained and and
[247]
pay the rest to the shareholders which is better I mean is our II that is a
[251]
retained earnings is better or in the dividend is better though this is a
[255]
really great question for this many authors like you know Graham and Dodd
[259]
modigliani-miller approach we have if we say the Gordon's growth model approach
[266]
we have Walters approach so there there's so many people who have exactly
[271]
discussed regarding this particular topic so well we are not getting into
[276]
that but everyone have their own point on this particular regard we are
[280]
we here going to discuss an example let's now look at some retained earning
[285]
example in the calculation let's say suppose at the beginning of the
[289]
beginning re of the company is standing at $1,50,000 the company has
[295]
earned let's say closely to ten thousand as a net part of the net income and the
[302]
third portion the board of director or the board of the company decides to pay
[306]
a dividend which is closely to fifteen hundred in the form of the dividend so
[310]
the beginning retain earnings the net income and the dividend is going to be
[314]
part of this so the or ending the region earning is going to be beginning plus
[323]
earned less an amount paid that is going to be your retained earnigs that is 158
[328]
five hundred let's take the region earning example of Colgate C re is a
[332]
part of the shareholders on the balance sheet so you know I'm gonna show you a
[337]
consolidated retained earning in the balance sheet of Starbucks and how re is
[342]
reported under the shoulders equity let's have a look as you can see over
[345]
here this this is the detail of shareholders equity power part and what
[349]
we note that you know
[350]
the retained earning of the Colgate which is our 19,922
[355]
18,861 million gor the 2016 here and 2015 year we'll try and calculate the
[363]
retained earning the balance sheet of the Colgate bought 2016 and 15 another big
[366]
beginning leader earning of the balance sheet 18861 which is right visible in
[370]
front of us and the net income of the Colgate will be taken from the extract
[373]
of the profit and loss account this is the net income attributable to the
[377]
colgate-palmolive company and that will be utilized for for showing exactly how
[382]
things are gonna work the here it is the dividend that has been paid you can find
[386]
the ending inventory something like this 18861 + 2441 that was net income
[392]
and the dividend that was been paid that was 13 0 so we get 19 9 22 million as
[398]
the ending retained earnings so here we have calculated Starbucks retained earningdd
[403]
earnings so we took a very fresh example from a real life company
[408]
so here the re over here it's it's positive and it is denoting that become
[412]
he has experienced more profits than losses and accumulated them over the
[417]
years no but however if the company has more losses than gains the re is re is
[421]
going to be negative as simple as that so for such company such negative
[426]
balance is called as the acute now what exactly is better is returning better or
[431]
dividend what we have learned from above is that you know RE dividend they are
[434]
the part of the same or kitty earnings of the companies if one goes the other
[438]
goes down so are your dividend which is better for the investors and
[442]
shareholders is the question over here should the company read in the larger PI
[445]
of the PI of the owning or should they pay a small to ficident Vice versus
[448]
keys it generally investors things that you
[451]
know the company which is not not being dividend on or not increasing its
[457]
dividend here on your is not doing when operationally but you know that that may
[461]
not be the case the company may be written may be retaining its earning to
[466]
invest in other projects or expanding its operation so that you know it could
[470]
grow at a higher rate and earn a return on that dividend that has been paid to
[473]
the investors so this will in turn increase the share price of the company
[479]
it's gonna be benefiting the shareholders but it it may not be true
[485]
for all such cases on a final note let's get conclude that you know we have now
[489]
got a fair idea about what is retail earning we have also seen the re
[493]
calculation and the management of the company they basically try is really
[496]
hard to read in a fair amount of the earnings for us to meet the capital
[499]
needs of the company as well as to reward the investors for the investment
[503]
