Dividend = $40,000

Explanation:

Given:

Temple Square Inc. reported that its retained earnings for 2005 were $490,000.

In its 2006 financial statements, it reported $60,000 of net income,

It ended 2006 with $510,000 of retained earnings. ( Ending retained earnings )

Question asked:

How much were paid as dividends to shareholders during 2006 ?

Solution:

Here given that Temple Square Inc. reported that its retained earnings for 2005 were $490,000, means this amount will carry forward and will be considered as Beginning retained earnings for 2006.

Now, we have to find, how much dividends were paid to shareholders during 2006.

As we know:

Ending retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividend

510,000 = 490,000 + 60,000 - Dividend

510,000 = 550,000 -  Dividend

Subtracting both sides by 550,000

- 40,000 = -  Dividend

Adding both sides by minus ( - )

Dividend = $40,000

Therefore, Temple Square Inc. paid $40,000 to shareholders during 2006.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
