Answer:

1.

Option B is the correct answer.

2.

Dividends Paid = $55 million. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

1.

The statement about shareholders' equity given in option A that it is the difference between the paid-in capital and retained earnings is incorrect as the retained earnings are a part of the equity of shareholders and are included in the calculation of shareholders' equity. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

2.

The Net Income earned by a company is usually treated in two ways. It is either paid out as dividends to the shareholders or is retained in the business and transferred to the retained earnings account or both. Thus, we can calculate the amount of dividends paid by the following equation.

Closing balance of retained earnings = Opening balance of retained earnings  +  Net Income for the period  -  Dividends Paid

700  =  595  +  160  -  Dividends Paid

700 + Dividends Paid =  755

Dividends Paid = 755 - 700

Dividends Paid = $55 million
