Answer:

$200,000

Explanation:

The dividends are determined by the current earnings and profits (E&P) of a company. In this case, Aztec Company's E&P for 20x3 will determine the maximum amount of dividends it can distribute.

Since Aztec's E&P for 20x3 was $200,000, then the maximum amount of dividends it can distribute in 20x3 is $200,000.
