Answer:

$37,200

Explanation:

The amount of retained earnings is calculated by using the formula below;

Amount of retained earnings = Net income - Dividends paid

In year 1, the amount of retained earnings

= $20,200 - $12,100

= $8,100

In year 2, the amount of retained earnings

= $34,200 - $5,100

= $29,100

Therefore, the amount of retained earnings at the end of year 2

= Amount of retained earnings for year 1 + Amount of retained earnings for year 2

= $8,100 + $29,100

= $37,200
