Retained earnings on January 1, 2018       115,000

Add: Retained earnings  for the year         30,000

Retained earnings  at December 31,2018  145,000

Explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate the retained earnings for the year, which is net income minus dividend paid. Then, we will add the retained earnings for the year to retained earnings at the beginning of the year. This gives the retained earnings at the end of the year.
