    No option is correct, the correct answer is $7,000.

    Explanation:

    If Turquoise and Topaz Sisters had retained earnings of $10,000, you must subtract the amounts restricted for plant expansions and bond repayments.

    $10,000 (retained earnings) - $2,000 (plant expansions) - $1,000 (bond repayments) = $7,000 available for dividends
