    b. $46,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the projected retained earnings is shown below:

    The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

    where,

    Dividend = 100,000 shares * $0.70 = $70,000

    The other items values would remain the same

    So, the projected retained earnings would be

    = $94,000 + $22,000 - $70,000

    = $46,000
