    The question has asked you to understand the concept of AUTHOIZED, ISSUED AND SUBSCRIBED SHARES ( OUTSTANDING SHARES )
    Authorized Shares = which the company is authorized to Issue
    Issued Shares = which are actually issued to public for subscription
    Outstanding
    or Subscribed = which has been applied by public or which are being
    represented by the Share Capital A/c

    The total amount of cash dividend = O/S shares * Dividend/share
    = 9500 * $ .075
    = $7125

    The correct answer is (C)
