Net increase in retained earnings net year-
Net profit - dividend paid = $36500-$15000 = $21500
So, total earnings at the end of next year -
Opening retained earnings + Net increase in retained earnings = $47919+21500 = $69419
Total liabilities = Assets-common stock - retained earnings
$147704 = Assets-$56998 -$47919
Assets = $252621 = answer , option C is correct.
