    C. $1,450.

    Explanation:

    Retained Earnings at the end of 2013 = $1,850

    Net Income For the year = Revenue earned - Expenses

    Net Income For the year = $2,100 - $1,150

    Net Income For the year = $950

    Retained Earnings at the End of 2013 = Retained Earnings at the Beginning of 2013 + Net Income for the year - Dividend paid during year

    Retained Earnings at the Beginning of 2013 = Retained Earnings at the end of 2013 - Net Income for the year + Dividend paid during year

    Retained Earnings at the Beginning of 2013 = $1850 - $950 + $550

    Retained Earnings at the Beginning of 2013 = $1,450
