    The $1,000,000 is the dividend amount which were paid to shareholders during the year

    Explanation:

    The computation of the dividend paid is shown below

    As we know that,

    The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

    So

    $770,000,000 = $716,000,000 + $55,000,0000 - dividend paid

    $770,000,000 = $771,000,000 - dividend paid

    So, dividend paid = $1,000,000
