c)the distribution may be a dividend, depending on whether total earnings andprofits at the date of the distribution is positive.
d)the distribution will not be a dividend because total earnings and profits is anegative $700.

Correct option is (a)

Explanation:

Current earnings and profits represent current year's earnings and accumulated E&P represent earnings after making distributions in the form of dividends to the shareholders. The level of accumulated E&P shows the ability of organizations to make cash distributions to its shareholders.

A distribution made by the corporation is considered dividend if current year E&P is positive irrespective of whether accumulated E&P is positive or negative.

In this case, current E&P is $500, which is more than distribution of $400, so it is considered as dividends.
