Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
On January 1st,
Total assets = Total liabilities + share holders equity
= 640,000 + 580,000
= 1,220,000
On December 31st,
Total assets = Total liabilities + share holders equity
= 630,000 + 620,000
= 1,250,000
Retained earnings closing = share holders equity increases - common stock issued
= (620,000-580,000) - 10,000
= 40,000 - 10,000
= 30,000
Retained earnings closing = Net income - Dividend declared
30,000 = $45,000 - Dividend declared
Dividend declared = $45,000 - $30,000
= $15,000
