    The amount of the dividends paid for the year is $45366.

    Explanation:

    Net income = sales - cost - interest - depreciation - (sales - cost - interest - depreciation) * 34%

    = $811000 - $658000 - $21800 - $56100 - ($811000 - $658000 - $21800 - $56100) * 34%

    = $75100 - (75100) * 34%

    = $75100 - $25534

    = $49566

    Dividends = Opening + Net Income - Closing

    = $318300 + $49566 - $322500

    = $45366

    Therefore, The amount of the dividends paid for the year is $45366.
