Respuesta :

Answer:

$52,000,000

Explanation:

The computation of the dividend paid to the shareholders during the year is shown below:

As we know that

Ending retained earnings balance = Opening retained earning balance + net profit of the year - dividend paid

$950 million = $937 million + $65 million - dividend paid

$950 million = $1,002 million - dividend paid

So, the dividend paid is

= $1,002 million - $950 million

= $52,000,000
