Dividends.

(d) Determining the annual interest

Interest is $56 per month or 0.7% of the note payable ($56 / $8,000).
0.7% X 12 = 8.4% interest per year.

Calculating interest per year

$\begin{array}{rcl} I n t e r e s t p e r y e a r & = & I n t e r e s t r a t e p e r m o n t h \times T o t a l m o n t h i n a y e a r \\ = & 0.7 % \times 12 \\ = & 8.4 % \end{array}$

(e) Determining the balance in salaries and wages payable

Salaries and Wages Expense	$9,820
Less: Salaries and Wages Payable 12/31/17	$820
	$9,000

Total payments, $10,500 - $9,000 = $1,500 Salaries Payable on 12/31/16.
