In its most recent financial statements, Del-Castillo Inc. reported $50 million of net income and $870 million of retained earnings. The previous retained earnings were $853 million. How much in dividends did the firm pay to shareholders during the year? Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1,200,000.
Solution :-
Previous Year Retained Earnings = $853 millions
This Year Reported Retained Earnings = $870 Millions
Therefore Additions to Retained Earnings = $870 million - $853 million = $17 millions
Net Income Reported = $50 millions
Net Income = Dividend Paid + Additions to Retained Earnings
$50 millions = Dividend Paid + $17 millions
Therefore Dividend Paid = $50 millions - $17 millions = $33 millions
= $33,000,000
