Answer 1

$5,700,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The net income for the year is $1,000,000

The EBT is $2,500,000

The retained earnings in January were $5,000,000

The amount of common stock dividend that was paid for the year is $300,000

The common shares that are outstanding is 1,000,000

Therefore, the end-of-year retained earnings can be calculated as follows

= Net income+Retained earning-stock paid

= $1,000,000+$5,000,000-$300,000

= $6,000,000-$300,000

= $5,700,000

Hence the end-of-year retained earnings is $5,700,000
