d. 2900

Explanation:

We first need to calculate the net income:

cash revenue 29,000

credit revenue 18,000

total revenue                                47,000

cash operating expenses 25,000

accrued expenses              2, 100

total expenses                              (27,100)

Net income                                   19,900

now we can calcualte the retained earnings

 Beginning RE                 0

 + Net Income          19,900

 - Dividends            (17,000)  

 Ending RE               2,900
