    a. $21,000

    Explanation:

    Opening retained earnings + net income - Dividend paid = closing retained earnings

    Opening retained earnings = ?

    Net income = $10,000

    Dividend paid = $6,000

    Closing retained = $25,000

    Opening retained earnings + 10,000 - 6,000 = 25,000

    Opening retained earnings = 25000 - 4000

    = $21,000
