    Ending retained earnings = $15,000 Credit Balance

    Explanation:

    Opening balance of retained earnings = $20,000 Debit

    Net Income of the year = $43,000

    Dividend paid = $8,000

    Net Profit to be added to retained earnings = $43,000 - $8,000 = $35,000

    Closing balance of retained earnings = - $20,000 + $35,000 = $15,000 Credit Balance

    Note: The amount of sale of additional stock is invalid and not to be considered, as this will not lay any impact on retained earnings.

    Final Answer

    Ending retained earnings = $15,000 Credit Balance
