Answer:

Dividend paid in current year = $6,898

Explanation:

Calculating net profit

Sales = $818,790

Less: Costs = $748,330

Less: Interest = $24,450

Less: Depreciation = $56,100

Earning before taxes = Loss (10,090)

Tax benefits = $10,090 $\times$ 34% = $3,431

Net losses = $10,090 - $3,431 = $6,659

Opening retained earnings = $172,270 Less: Losses for the year = $6,659

Balance = $165,611

Less: Closing balance = $158,713 = $6,898

Thus<u> amount of dividend paid in current year = $6,898</u>

Change in value of common stock will not be considered.
