    e. $42,438

    Explanation:

    The computation of the retained earning is shown below:

    Earning after tax = Sales - cost - depreciation expense - interest expense - income tax expense

    = $318,400 - $199,400 - $28,600 - $1,100 - $30362

    = $58,938

    The income tax expense equal to

    = (Sales - cost - depreciation expense - interest expense) * tax rate

    = ($318,400 - $199,400 - $28,600 - $1,100) * 0.34

    = $30362

    Now the retained earning equal to

    = Earning after tax - dividend paid

    = $58,938 - $16,500

    = $42,438
