Respuesta :

Answer:

The dividends firm pay in fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 is $363.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Net income = [tex]\$556[/tex].

At the end of the year the retained earnings = [tex]\$12,522.[/tex]

At the beginning of the year retained earnings = [tex]\$12,329.[/tex]

Now, to find the dividends firm pay in fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.

So, we first add the net income and the retained earnings at the beginning of the year and then subtract retained earnings at the end of year:

[tex](556+12,329)-12,522[/tex]

[tex]=12,885-12,522[/tex]

[tex]=\$363.[/tex]

Thus, the dividend = $363.

Therefore, the dividends firm pay in fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 is $363.
