Answer:

a. $45,000

Explanation:

The retained earnings of the Company X at the beginning of the year shall be determined using the following mentioned formula:

Retained Earnings at the end of year=Retained Earnings at the start of the year+net income for the year-dividend paid by company X

In the given question:

Retained Earnings at the end of year=$60,000

Retained Earnings at the start of the year=?

Net income for the year=$25,000

Dividends paid by Company X=$10,000

$60,000=Retained Earnings at the start of the year+$25,000-$10,000

Retained Earnings at the start of the year=$60,000-$25,000+$10,000

                                                                    =$45,000

So based on the above calculation, the answer is a. $45,000

amount=(yearly payment)+(number of years)
=(50000)×(30)
=$1,500,000
This implies that the second option is best choice. Given the information, we shall conclude that the best thing to do is to calculate the present value of the annuity payments.
