Answer: b. $290,000

Explanation:

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Change in Assets = Change in liabilities + Change in Equity

560,000 - 330,000 = 35,000 - 25,000 + Change in equity

230,000 = 10,000 + Change in equity

Change in Equity = 230,000 - 10,000

= $220,000

Retained earnings = Change in equity + dividends

= 220,000 + 70,000

= $290,000
