Answer: $160,000

 

Explanation: Retained earnings can be defined as the amount pf earnings left with the company after taking into consideration all tyoes of dividends and taxes.

formula  :-

Retained earnings = previous retained earnings + net income - dividends to equity holders - dividends to preference holders

thus,

Retained earnings = $140,000 + $65,000 - $10,000 - $35,000

                                 = $160,000
