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
