    Retained earnings is $6,000

    Explanation:

    Total Asset of Blue Devils Corporation = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Supplies + Equipment - Accumulated Depreciation = $5,000 + $9,000 + $19,000 + $120,000 - $45,000 = $108,000

    Basing on Accounting Equation:

    Total Asset = Total Liabilities + Total Equity = $108,000

    Total Liabilities = Accounts Payable + Salaries Payable = $26,000 + $16,000 = $42,000

    Total Equity = Total Asset - Total Liabilities = $108,000 - $42,000 = $66,000

    Retained Earnings = Total Equity - Common Stock = $66,000 - $60,000 = $6,000
