December 31, 2005:

Assets = $350,000 Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity
Liabilities= $80,000
Capital Stock = $210,000
Retained Income= $60,000

Total Assets= $350,000 Total Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity = $350,000

(Retained Earnings on December 31,2005 = Total Assets - Liabilities- Capital Stock = 350,000 - $80,000 - $210,000 = $60,000)

Net Income for year 2006 = Revenue - Expenses = $230,000 - $ 190,000 = $40,000

Retained earnings on December 31, 2006 = Beginning + Net Income - Dividends
= $60,000 + $40,000 - $25,000 = $75,000

Answer: $75,000.
