Answer 1

Answer:

$11,000 increase

Explanation:

The net adjustment made to retained earning account is shown below:

= Revenue earned - expenses incurred - dividend paid

= $35,000 - $23,000 - $1,000

= $11,000 increase

At the time of closing entries, we closed the revenues, expenses, and the dividend account and the net adjustment is made to the retained earning account
