Explanation / Answer

1.

Calculations: Dividend shares = 20% of (35,000 - 4,000) = 6,200

2.

Calculations: Total dividend = dividend per share*outstanding shares

3.

Calculation: 86800 = 6200*14

4.

Calculation 10 = 40,000/4,000

5.

Net income:

Now 206,100+net income of 2016 = ending balance of retained earnings

or 206,100+net income of 2016 = 420,000

or net income = 420,000 - 206,100

= $213,900
