    2.$19,500.

    Explanation:

    The computation of the amount of dividend is shown below:

    As we know that

    Ending retained earning balance = Beginning retained earning balance + net income - cash dividend paid

    $13,000 = $13,000 + $6,500 * 3 years - cash dividend paid

    So, the cash dividend paid is $19,500

    We simply applied the above formula

    Hence, the correct option is 2.
