The amount of cash for the payment of dividends during the year can be calculated using the following formula:

Amount of Cash Dividend Paid = Begining Cash Dividends Payable + Cash Dividends declared - Ending Cash Dividends Payable

We are given the following information:

Begining Cash Dividends Payable = $10,000

Cash Dividends declared = $50,000

Ending Cash Dividends Payable = $5,000

Hence, Amount of Cash Dividend Paid = 10000+50000-5000 = $55,000
