    Calculation of Cash Dividend;

    It is given that at the end of 2010, Washington corporation reported a $40,000 balance in its common stock account (par value $1 per share) and the treasury stock account balance was $720 (cost $6 per share). It means the number of equity shares outstanding were 40,000 - (720/6) = 39,880 Shares

    Further we are given that during 2010, the company declared and paid a cash dividend at $1.50 per share.

    Hence, the total amount of the 2010 cash dividend shall be 39,8880 shares * $1.50 = $59,820
