Insider trading is not only unethical but also highly illegal. Reporting your supervisor can get them sent to jail.

Over the past several years, like other auto manufacturers, General Motors (GM) has introduced many new models of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in all of its major divisions.

The rebates have been heavily advertised on national television. Profit margins per vehicle have shrunk as a result of these costly promotions.
General Motors is currently operating in the Market maturity stage of production life cycle.

Answer:

Explanation:
To know the retained earnings at the end of 2015, we first need to calculate how much dividend the company will pay to its shareholders then add up the net income in 2015 to the remaining of retained earning at the end of 2014 (after paying 2014's dividend at Mar 2015) to get retained earnings at the end of 2015.
Total dividend in on Mar 2015 = 0.7 x 100,000 = 70,000
Retained Earning at the end of 2015 = 94,000 - 70,000 + 22,000 = 46,000.
