A. $500.
B. $0.
C. $9,100.
D. $8,000.

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. $8,000.

Explanation:

total profit/ loss in $9,100 = $7,100 + ($1,600) + $3,600

Retained Earnings balance at the end of year three is $1,100, so the total amount of dividends paid over these three years was $8,000 = total profit/ loss in $9,100 - Retained Earnings balance at the end of year three of $1,100
