Respuesta :

Answer:

A. $34,000

Explanation:

The formula to compute the year-end retained earnings balance is shown below:

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - depreciation expense - dividend paid

= $32,000 +$12,000 - $3,000 - $7,000

= $34,000

The depreciation expenses and dividend are deducted and the net income is added to the beginning balance of retained earning account so that the accurate amount can come.
