    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
