Answer:

$179,200

Explanation:

Given that

Net Income = $59,500

Retained earnings = $138,500

Dividends =  $18,800

So by considering the above information, the ending retained earning balance is shown below:

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

= $138,500 + $59,500 - $18,800

= $179,200
