Blossom company began the year with retained earnings of $39. during the year, the company recorded revenues of $489000, expenses of $379000, and paid dividends of $44500. what was blossom retained earnings at the end of the year?
a) 489000
b) 455500
c) 533500
d) 833500

b) $455,500

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Blossom Company began the year with retained earnings of $390000. During the year, the company recorded revenues of $489000, expenses of $379000, and paid dividends of $44500.

To find the retained earnings, we will use following formula.

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

Therefore, the retained earnings at the end of the year was $455,500.

typically if you want , you would actually put questions here for us to you. but hey, that's just me. maybe someone will magically answer the questions for you without knowing what they are.

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
