Answer:

Option (D) $27,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cash dividends declared = $20,000

Dividends paid = $15,000

Net income = $70,000

Market value of the stock dividend = $23,000

Treasury stock = $9,000

Selling cost of the treasury stock = $7,000

Now,

Retained earnings increase during the recent year of operation will be

= Net income - Cash dividends declared - Market value of the stock dividend

= $70,000 -  $20,000 - $23,000

= $27,000

Hence,

Option (D) $27,000
