Answer:
Sunk costs.
Explanation:
Sunk costs refers to historical funds spent or incurred that cannot be recovered. Such costs are considered irrelevant during decision making which impacts on the business's future as they present no influence on present or future prospects.
Example
ABC investors decide to acquire land and develop residential houses at a location X. This decision is informed on the fact that the government had recently enacted a policy that led to an increase in demand for residential properties in that location. 6 months into construction of the residential houses, the government reviews and rescinds the policy. This leads to a sharp decline in property values in location X. ABC investors had already incurred 10 million dollars in the project. The 10 million dollars is considered sunk cost.
Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.
Hence, money that has been or will be paid regardless of the decision whether to proceed with the project is sunk costs.

Explanation:
The retained earnings will be calculated as:
= Begining retainers earnings + Net income - Dividend.
Year 1:
Retained earning = 0 + 2000 - 1700
= 300.
Year 2:
Retained earning = 300 + 2600 - 1600
= 1300
Year 3:
Retained earning = 1300 + 2600 - 2200
= 1700
Year 4:
Retained earning = 1700 + 5900 - 2900
= 4700
Year 5:
Retained earning = 4700 + 8800 - 3100
= 10400
