    b. $55,000

    Explanation:

    The movement in the dividend payable account which represents the difference between the payable opening an closing balances. This difference is due to dividend paid during the year as well as dividend declared and can be shown by the equation below.

    Opening balance + Declared dividend - dividend paid = closing dividend

    $20,000 + $60,000 - dividend paid = $25,000

    Dividend paid = $20,000 + $60,000 - $25,000

    = $55,000
