Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The preparation of the retained earnings statement for the year ended December 31, 20Y3 is shown below:

Retained earnings, January 1, 20Y3                           $64,083,000

Add: Net income                                                          $7,373,000

Less: Total dividend declared                                     -$3,750,000

Retained earnings, December 31, 20Y3                     $67,706,000

The total dividend declared would be

= Cash dividends declared + Stock dividends declared

= $967,000 + $2,783,000

= $3,750,000
