Explanation:

Given:

Patterson Corporation began the year with retained earnings of $325,000. During the year, the company issued $500,000 of common stock, recorded expenses of $1,500,000, and paid dividends of $90,000.

If Patterson’s ending retained earnings was $350,000.

Now, to find the company's revenue for the year.

Opening Retained earnings = $325,000.

Common stock = $500,000.

Recorded expenses = $1,500,000.

Paid dividends = $90,000.

Closing Retained earnings = $350,000.

Now, to get the revenue of the company we put formula:

Revenue = (Recorded expenses + paid dividends + closing Retained earnings) - opening Retained earnings

Therefore, the company's revenue for the year is $1,615,000.

The correct option is  A. $1,615,000.
