The 325 Difference is essentially the difference between the comprehensive income reported in the income statement amounting to $46,560 and the amount transferred to the reserve accounts - ther Reserves, Retained Profits and Deferred Tax Liability amounting to (12,700 - 4,300) + (57,300-22,900) + (13,885 - 9,800) = 46,885.

Difference = 46,885 - 46,560 = 325.
