    All of the options are false.

    Explanation:

    The net income is an element that increases the owners' equity while dividend paid reduces it. Both are elements of the cash flows for operating and financing activities respectively.

    Considering the information given;

    Acquired $9,000 cash by issuing common stock - This is an inflow of cash and forms the owner's equity balance at the start of the year.

    During Year 1, the company earned cash revenues of $4,500, paid cash expenses of $3,750 - These are elements of the income statement and will result in a net income of $500 ($4,500 - $3,750 - $250).

    and paid a cash dividend of $250 - This is a reduction in the owner's equity and is a cash outflow.

    Now a review of all the options;

    a. The 2016 statement of cash flows would show net cash inflow from operating activities of $2,450. - Net cash flow from operating activities is $750 (($4,500 - $3,750). Hence this is false.

    b. The 2016 income statement would show a net income of $1,300. - As shown in the consideration, this is false.

    c. The 2016 statement of cash flows would show a net cash flow from financing activities of $9,700. - Net cash flow from financing is

    = $9000 - $250 = $8750

    d. The December 31, 2016 balance sheet would show total equity of $15,750 - Total equity

    =$9000 + $4,500 - $3,750 - $250 = $9,500

    Hence all of the options are false.
