Answer:

Earnings = $1,600, Interest = $400, Dividend = $1,200

Earnings = $900, Interest = $400, Dividend = $500

Earnings = $300, Interest = $400, Dividend = $0

Explanation:

As not provided, taxes are ignored.

Provided interest to be paid to creditors = $400

Case 1

Earnings before interest and taxes = $1,600

Less: Interest = $400

Earnings after interest = $1,200

Dividend to shareholders = $1,200

Case 2

Earnings before interest and taxes = $900

Less: Interest = $400

Earnings after interest and taxes = $500

Dividend to shareholders = $500

Case 3

Earnings before interest and taxes = $300

Less:  Interest = $300

Earnings after interest = - $100

Since the earnings are negative, as company is facing losses, no dividend will be distributed.
