b.$70,000

Explanation:

The net income could be computed by two method

First method is

Net income = Revenue - expenses

= $100,000 - $30,000

= $70,000

And, the second method is

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

$95,000 = $32,000 + net income - $7,000

So, the net income is $70,000
