Answer:

$165,000

Explanation:

Opening retained earnings:

= Total assets - Total liabilities - Paid in Capital

= $258,000 - $19,900 - $79,600

= $158,500

Closing retained earnings:

= Opening retained earnings + Total revenues - Expenses - Dividends

= $158,500  + $303,000 - $234,500 - $62,000

= $165,000

Therefore, the balance in the Retained earnings account at the end of the year would be $165,000.
