    Option 3

    Explanation:

    Earnings & profits (E&P) is the measure of a corporation's economic ability to pay dividends to its shareholders. An up-to-date E&P calculation is important for many corporate transactions, including determining whether a distribution to shareholders is a taxable dividend.

    The E&P allocated to Andrew's distribution

    = 160,000 * 150,000 / (350,000+150,000)

    = 160,000 * 150,000/500,000

    = 48,000
