To calculate:
Total cash and stock Dividend.
Answer to Problem 85PSB
The net effect of the dividends will be:
- Retained Earnings will reduce by cash dividend i.e. $888,503.
- Balance in cash account will also reduce by cash dividend i.e. $888,503.
(Rest, stock dividend value will be adjusted by increasing common stock and additional capital, and by decreasing retained earnings by the same amount.).
Explanation of Solution
Given:
1,500,000 shares were authorized and 820,000 were issued and outstanding $8 par common shares.
As per the given transactions, the dividend (cash or stock) was paid on 4 dates:
Date | Type of Dividend | Amount ($) |
April 6 | Cash Dividend | 164,000 |
September 14 | Cash Dividend | 323,800 |
October 25 | Stock Dividend | 1,214,250 |
December 20 | Cash Dividend | 400,703 |
- | Total Dividend Paid (stock or cash) | 2,102,753 |
In accounting, every transaction has dual effect.
There are two types of dividend i.e. Stock and Cash Dividend.
- The first effect of both the dividends (cash or stock) is on Retained Earnings of the company. The dividend payable amount reduces the balance in retained earnings.
- The second effect of the dividend (cash or stock) is on the account through which they are paid.
- If cash dividend is paid then the second effect is on cash account as cash in the company decreases.
- If stock dividend is paid then the second effect is on common stock and additional paid in capital account as new shares are issued as dividends which further increase the balance of these accounts.
Total Cash Dividend = $164,000 + $323,800 + $400,703
Total Cash Dividend = $888,503
Total Stock Dividend = $1,214,250
Total Dividends Paid = Total Cash Dividend + Total Stock Dividend
Total Dividends Paid = $888,503 + $1,214,250
Total Dividends Paid = $2,102,753
This means,
- Retained earnings will decrease by Total Dividends Paid i.e. $2,102,753.
- Balance in cash account will decrease by total cash dividends paid i.e. $888,503.
- Balance in common stock and additional paid in capital account will increase by Total Stock Dividend i.e. $1,214,250.
