Answer #1

Answer along with a brief explanation is as follows,

B. 7,265,000. The question is provided with retained earnings at the beginning of the period, transactions for the period and asking for the retained earnings at the end of the period. The calculation is as follows,

Opening retained earnings (6,000,000) + comprehensive income for the period (1,500,000) - dividends declared (480,000) + overstated cost of goods sold of previous years (245,000) = 7,265,000.

*Cost of goods is overstated in prior years which means it had understated retained earnings in the prior years, overstating it in the current year would rectify the error.

**Unrealised loss on AFS securities is what disclosed under accumulated other comprehensive income which is disclosed just under retained earnings in the balance sheet, it won't have any impact on the retained earnings.
