$11,800.

$12,800.

$8,400.

$17,200.

$8,800.

Respuesta :

Answer:

$8,400

Explanation:

The computation of the total amount of the cash dividend is shown below:

= Outstanding number of shares × cash dividend per share

= 10,500 outstanding shares × $0.80

= $8,400

The cash dividend is computed only on outstanding shares i.e issues shares minus treasury shares

So, it will not be computed on authorized shares either on issued shares
