Don't even know where to start. Is there an equation I am suppose to be using or is it really easy and I am just not getting it.

Here is the problem I am suppose to figure it for


Using the information for Dean Corporation, calculate the amount of dividends Dean most likely paid to common stockholders in 2007,2008,2009.

Retained Earning Blances Net Income

Are you sure you have your number correct?

Or is there more information to this problem?
