    No it does not make a loss rather there was profit of $43,000.

    Explanation:

    Net income is the profit that a business realises after expenses and other obligations has been removed from revenue.

    So Net Income = Revenue - Expenses

    Dividends are part of the business profit that was paid to shareholders.

    Therefore

    Total profit = Net income + Dividends

    Total profit = 17,500 + 25,500

    Total profit = $43,000
