Answer:

$425,000

Explanation:

The Retained earning statement of the Paradise travel can be calculated using the following formula:

Closing Retained earnings=opening retained earnings+net income-dividend paid

opening retained earnings=$300,000

Net income=Fees earned-office expense- miscellaneous expense-wages expense

Net income=900,000-300,000-15,000-450,000=$135,000

Dividends paid=$10,000

Closing retained earnings=$300,000+$135,000-$10,000

                                           =$425,000
