    Answer: $35,000

    Explanation:

    Retained Earnings refers to the Net Income that the business keeps after it pays out a portion of it to Shareholders as dividends.

    Closing Balance on Retained Earnings = Opening Balance + Net Income - Dividends

    Net income = Revenue - Expenses

    = 40,000 - 25,000

    = $15,000

    Closing Balance on Retained Earnings = 29,000 + 15,000 - 9,000

    = $35,000
