Car and Auto Sisters had retained earnings of $18,000 on the balance sheet but disclosed in the footnotes that $3,000 of retained earnings was restricted for plant expansion and $1,000 was restricted for bond repayments. Cash of $2,000 had been set aside for the plant expansion. How much of retained earnings is available for dividends? $14,000 $15,000 $18,000 $12,000

Respuesta :

Answer:

$14,000

Explanation:

The computation the retained earning balance for dividend distribution is shown below:

= Retained earnings - retained earnings was restricted for plant expansion - restricted for bond repayments

= $18,000 - $3,000 - $1,000

= $14,000

Simply we deduct those items which affect the retained earnings balance.  

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
