Answer #1

Total assets

Cash + account receivable + land

= 2200 + 1150 + 1400

= 4750

Accounts payable = 750

Net asset = 4,000

Out of which common stock is 1,575

Therefore retained earnings where

= 4,000 - 1,575

= $2,425

Increase in retained earnings = revenue - expense

= 1400 - 850

= 550

Assuming that the Dividend is paid from the retained earnings. Therefore retained earnings will reduce by 1,100

Therefore retained earnings as on 1st Jan

= 2,425 + 550 - 1,100

= $1,875

If the dividend is not be paid from restained earnings then the retained earnings balance will be

= 2425 + 550

= $2,975 which is option 1
