Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
As provided no equity is issued, therefore,
Common stock + Net income = Stockholder's equity
We know common stock = $70,000
Further there might be some dividend paid, which shall be deducted from net income to compute total value of Stockholder's equity.
Therefore,
$70,000 + $18,000 - Dividend = $78,000
$88,000 - $78,000 = Dividend = $10,000
Therefore, dividends paid during the month = $10,000
