retained earning balance  = $12,200

correct option is b. $12,200

Explanation:

given data

retained earnings balance = $10,000

common stock = $5,000

Provided services on account =  $3,000

Provided services in exchange for cash = $900  

Purchased equipment and paid cash=  $4,300

Paid rent = $800

Paid workers salaries =  $900

solution

we know sale is here

Sales  = 3000 + 900 = 3900

Expenses = 800 + 900 = 1700

So that  sales less expenses is profit of 3900 - 1700 = $2200

so retained earning balance =  $10,000 + $2200

retained earning balance  = $12,200

correct option is b. $12,200
