Answer:

e. $52,500

Explanation:

Beginning  balance of retained earnings= $555,000

Net earning for the period=$172,500

Closing retained earnings balance for the period: $675,000

Closing retained earning =Beginning balance + net earnings - dividend

$675000 = $555,000 +$172,500- Dividends

$675000 = $727,500 - Dividends

Dividends = $727,500 - $675,000

Dividends =$52,500
