    The dividend amount is $25,000

    Explanation:

    The amount of dividend which is declared during 2018 is computed as:

    Dividend = Net Income + Retained Earnings of 2017 - Retained Earnings of 2018

    where

    Net Income is $91,000

    Retained Earnings of 2017 is $89,000

    Retained Earnings of 2018 is $155,000

    Putting the values in the above:

    = $91,000 + $89,000 - $155,000

    = $180,000 - $155,000

    = $25,000
