The statement of retained earnings shows the change in retained earnings for a given period, which includes any dividends distributed to stockholders. The income statement shows revenues, expenses, and net income, but does not specifically mention dividends. The budgeted balance sheet is a forward-looking document that predicts future financials, and the balance sheet is a snapshot of a company's assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific point in time, but neither of these statements show dividends distributed to stockholders.
