    Heaton paid a total of $52,500 as dividend during 2015

    Explanation:

    Dividends in 2015 = Previous year retained earnings - Current year retained earnings + Current year net income

    Dividends in 2015 = 555,000 - 675,000 + 172,500

    Dividends in 2015 = $52,500

    Heaton paid a total of $52,500 as dividend during 2015
