    The balance in retained earnings at December 31 is $264,000.00

    Explanation:

    The balance in retained earnings at December 31 can be computed using the below ending retained earnings formula:

    ending retained earnings=beginning retained earnings+net income-dividends

    beginning retained earnings was the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1 2020 which was $215,000

    net income for the year is $130,000

    dividends of $81,000 were paid

    ending retained earnings=$215,000+$130,000-$81,000=$ 264,000.00
