In 2019, the firm operated at 75 percent of capacity. Construct the pro forma income statement and balance sheet for the company. Assume that fixed assets are sold so that the company has a 100 percent asset utilization. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

I'm getting stuck on Retained earning for the pro-forma balance sheet.
