Answer:

C. The company declared $56,000 as dividends.

Step-by-step explanation:

C. The company declared $56,000 as dividends: is correct because the retained Earnings increased in 2016 is $1,000, while net income for the year was $57,000; it means that the company declared dividend for $56,000 (= 57,000 – 1,000)

A. The company issued stocks for $32,000: is wrong because the increase in common Stock is $29,600 only.

B. The net cash flow from financing activities is $178,800: is wrong because financing activities are those related debt, equity and dividend; and from all above only dividend of $56,000 declared; common stock issued in year: $29,600; treasury Stock issued in year $3,200; then net cash flow from financing activities is negative $29,600 = (29,600- 3,200-56,000)

D. The company purchased treasury stock for$8,200: is wrong because the increase in Treasury Stock is $3,200 only.
