The Re-Invested Amount
The Re-Invested amount is also known as earnings retained by a
business. This means the profits done by a business that is not paid
to a third party. Instead, it is invested in the business again. Thus this
figure is a cumulative number that keeps growing as the company
expands. Maintaining this amount while bookkeeping is important as
it shows the financial graph of your business thus helping you
analyze the growth.
