    The addition to retained earnings is $34,645

    Explanation:

    Income before tax of Andersen's Nursery = Sales - CoGS - depreciation expense - interest expense = $318,400 - $199,400 - $28,600 - $1,100 = $89,300

    Tax = Income before tax x tax rate = 35% x $89,300 = $31,255

    Net income = Income before tax - Tax = $89,300 - $31,255 = $58,045

    The addition to retained earnings = Net income - paid dividends = $58,045 - $23,400 = $34,645
