To prepare:
Journal Entries for cash dividend and calculate value of retained earnings as well total assets.
Answer to Problem 86PSA
After paying Cash dividend,
Total Assets = $572,000
Retained Earnings = $202,000
Journal Entries
| Date | Particulars | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
| December 31 | Retained Earnings Dr. Dividends Payable (Declaration of cash dividend.) |
15,000 | 15,000 |
| December 31 | Dividends Payable Dr. Cash (Payment of declared dividend.) |
15,000 | 15,000 |
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Total Assets is equal to $587,000, common stock selling at $12 as on 31st December 2019 and following equity statement:
| Particulars | $ |
| Common stock, $2 par, 80,000 shares issued and outstanding | 160,000 |
| (+) Additional Paid-in capital − common stock | 24,000 |
| Total Capital Stock | 184,000 |
| Retained Earnings | 217,000 |
| Total Stockholders’ equity | 401,000 |
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.
Before Cash Dividend was paid,
Retained Earnings = $217,000
Total Assets = $587,000
After payment of Cash Dividend of $15,000,
Retained Earnings = $217,000 - 15,000
Retained Earnings = $202,000
Total Assets = $587,000 - 15,000
Total Assets = $572,000.

Introduction:
In stock split, shares outstanding increases by given ratio and the price of stock decreases by the same ratio wherein the total stockholders’ equity remains unchanged.
To state:
Whether journal entry will be recorded for stock split and the value of retained earnings as well total assets.
Answer to Problem 86PSA
After Stock-split,
Retained Earnings = $217,000
Total Assets = $587,000
Stock split doesn’t affect the Total assets as well retained earnings. Thus, they remain same. It only affects no. of shares outstanding and price per share (still stockholders’ equity remains unchanged).
Since there is no actual change in stockholders’ equity or balance sheet as a whole, hence no journal entry is required for stock split.
Explanation of Solution

| Total Capital Stock | 184,000 |
| Retained Earnings | 217,000 |
| Total Stockholders’ equity | 401,000 |
Before stock split,
No. of shares outstanding = 80,000
Par Value = $2

Stock Split ratio = 2-for-1
No. of shares outstanding =
No. of shares outstanding = 160,000
Price per share =
Price per share = $1
