What are the effects on the accounting equation when dividends are declared and paid?

Business
1 answer:
alexandr1967 [171]2 years ago

When dividends are declared and paid, retained earnings and cash are both decreased.

Paying dividends reduces cash flow while increasing dividends. A decline in retained earnings will occur when the temporary account of dividends, which will be closed at the end of the time period (such as a year), is closed.

How Do Retained Earnings Work?

After deducting dividend payments, a company's cumulative net earnings or profits are known as retained earnings. The term "retained," which is significant in accounting, captures the fact that the corporation kept such earnings rather than paying them as dividends to shareholders.

For this reason, retained earnings increase when new profits are made and drop when a corporation either makes a profit or pays dividends.

A company has $80,000 in outstanding accounts receivable and it uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

  • Dr Bad Debt expense 6,000
  • Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account 6,000

Explanation:

The total estimated bad debts are $4,800 (= $80,000 x 6%). So the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account ending balance should be $4,800. Since this account is a contra asset account, the ending balance should be $4,800 credited.

But currently the account has a $1,200 debit balance (it's like -$1,200), so the adjustment record must be = $4,800 + $1,200 = $6,000

That way the ending balance = $6,000 - $1,200 = $4,800

The journal entries should be:

  • Dr Bad Debt expense 6,000
  • Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account 6,000

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The correct answer is The fundamental attribution error.

Explanation:

The Fundamental Attribution Error (EFA) is a phenomenon that occurs when we try to explain our own behavior with respect to that of others. Many times we find it hard to understand why a person acts as he acts. And we do not stop to look for the reasons that are the basis of their behavior.

A very clear example is to suspend an exam. If you have to explain to someone why you have suspended the exam, you probably mean that it was very difficult, that you had not rested, did not have time to study or even that the teacher suspended you.

Now imagine that it is another person who suspends and you have approved. Surely if you have to explain why you have suspended you will explain that it is a bit vague, that you have not studied enough and even that you were not interested in approving.
