No!! It should not be merged. Are you stupid> They clearly do not go together! Are retained earnings also called 'reserves' (e.g. in UK)? If so, the article should say so (and there should be a redirect). 217.155.116.125 12:13, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- They're usually called retained profits in the UK. I added a mention of retained profit to the article. Rhobite 15:52, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
You're right. It's something different. Retained Earnings are part of the "Shareholders' Equity" section in a balance sheet. If this section turns out to be negative it can be labeled "Shareholders' Deficit". Sorry...
