Answer:

Acme Pharmaceutical Company (or is it Kay-z?)

Retaining the excess of revenues over expenses as a possible source of capital for Acme:

c. Not applicable

Explanation:

The retention of retained earnings cannot be applicable in this case because for the past five years of its existence the company had recorded operating losses.  It had not retained any profits so far.  This means that there is no internally-generated source of financing for the company.  It can only rely on outside finance in the form of equity (stockholders) or debt (creditors).
