    Option (D) $27,000

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Cash dividends declared = $20,000

    Dividends paid = $15,000

    Net income = $70,000

    Market value of the stock dividend = $23,000

    Treasury stock = $9,000

    Selling cost of the treasury stock = $7,000

    Now,

    Retained earnings increase during the recent year of operation will be

    = Net income - Cash dividends declared - Market value of the stock dividend

    = $70,000 - $20,000 - $23,000

    = $27,000

    Hence,

    Option (D) $27,000
