Answer:

The retained earnings at the beginning of the year was $ 2,253,000 .

Explanation:

Retained earnings at the end of the year = Retained earnings at the beginning of the year + Net income - Dividends

Retained earnings at the beginning  = Retained earnings at the end of the year - Net income + Dividends

= $ 2,253,000

Therefore, the retained earnings at the beginning of the year was $ 2,253,000 .
