Turquoise and topaz sisters had retained earnings of $10,000 on the balance sheet but disclosed in the footnotes that $2,000 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?
a.$10,800
b.$14,300
c.$12,600
d.$9,100

No option is correct, the correct answer is $7,000.

Explanation:

If Turquoise and Topaz Sisters had retained earnings of $10,000, you must subtract the amounts restricted for plant expansions and bond repayments.

$10,000 (retained earnings) - $2,000 (plant expansions) - $1,000 (bond repayments) = $7,000 available for dividends
