creditors. Therefore, banks and other creditors monitor dividend payments to ensure they do not
put a company’s ability to make debt payments at risk.

expenses from revenues. In addition, net income appears in the retained earnings statement—it is
shown as an addition to the beginning-of-period retained earnings. Indirectly, the net income of a
company is also included in the balance sheet. It is included in the retained earnings account
which appears in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

activities, and financing activities. The categories were chosen because they represent the three
principal types of business activities.
