Option a) $5075.88 is the addition to the retained earnings
Current profits less any dividends or other payouts to shareholders are a company's retained earnings. Every time an accounting entry is made that has an effect on a revenue or expense account, this sum is modified. A sizable retained profits balance suggests that the corporation is in a secure financial position.
Computing after-tax profit:
(Revenues - Interest cost - Depreciation - Cost of goods sold - Administrative costs) x ( 1 - tax)
= ($42629 - $1,230 - $2,609 - $23,704 - $7,040) x ( 1 - 22%)
= $6,275.88
Retained earnings addition:
= After-tax net profit - Dividends paid
= 6,275.88 - 1,200
= $5,075.88
Hence, option a) is the correct answer
