    Option (a) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Beginning balance of Retained Earnings = $75,000

    Net income = $26,000

    Ending retained earnings = $91,000

    Total Balance during the year:

    = Beginning balance of Retained Earnings + Net income

    = $75,000 + $26,000

    = $101,000

    Dividend declared:

    = Total Balance during the year - Ending retained earnings

    = $101,000 - $91,000

    = $10,000

    Therefore, the amount of dividend declared by the Superior during its recent year of operation is $10,000.
