    a. What is the amount of net income for the year?

    $34,190

    b. What is the amount of change in retained earnings for the year?

    increased by $25,690

    Explanation:

    net income:

    total service revenue $68,400 salaries expense - $31,100 operating expenses - $3,100 net income = $34,190

    change in retained earnings = net income - dividends = $34,190 - $8,500 = $25,690

    Revenue and expenses are recorded on the periods that they occur, regardless of when they are collected or paid respectively.
