    Answer: The answer is $10,000

    Explanation:

    Dividend is the portion of a business earnings or reserves that is paid to shareholders. This is usually paid on a yearly basis.

    When dividends are paid it first comes out of the current earnings (in this case $10,000).

    The excess of the dividend payment (that is $5,000) will be reduced from the sole shareholder's stock in the company, since he is the sole owner of the company.
