Explanation:

We have the following details,

Issued shares are the number of shares issued by the company, it includes treasury stock that is shares purchased back by the company.

Outstanding shares = Issued shares - Treasury stock

Treasury stock does not have any right of dividend, as the shares are held by company itself, it will not pay dividend to itself.

Thus dividend to be paid = 25,500 $1.55 per share = $39,525

Authorized shares just represent the number of maximum shares a company can issue.

Total Amount of Cash Dividend = $39,525
