    The ending balance in the retained earnings account is $31400.

    Explanation:

    The ending balance in the retained earnings accounts is equal to the opening balance of the retained earnings account plus the addition to the retained earnings for the year.

    The addition to retained earnings will be the Net income less dividends.

    The net income for the year was = 75200 - 55000 = $20200

    Addition to Retained earnings = 20200 - 12600 = $7600

    Closing balance of retained earnings = 23800 + 7600 = $31400
