Answer:
B. $214,000
Explanation:
The insurance premium paid for a 3 year period should not have been expensed out rightly but recognized as expense through periodic amortization spread over the entire period.
As such, the amount that should have been expensed in 2011 for insurance premium is
= 1/3 × $30,000
= $10,000
Recognizing an expense of $10,000 rather than $30,000 would have resulted in an increase in the tax expense by
= 70% × ($30,000 - $10,000)
= $14,000
As such, the retained earnings would have been
= $200,000 + $14,000
= $214,000
The overstatement of an expense would have resulted in an understatement of net income and thus and understatement of the retained earnings.

So: We're left with
