    Purchase of assets at a cost of $25,000,000 will expose the company most to the risk of needing emergency loan.

    The correct answer is B

    Explanation:

    The first two options are outflows that will reduce the liquidity position of the company. Payment of $5.00 dividend per share costs the company $500,000 while purchase of assets costs the company $25,000,000. Since the purchase of assets costs the company a higher outflow, thus, it will expose the company most to the risk of needing emergency loan.
