Document Summary

Accounting for dividends: a dividend is a distribution by a corporation to its stockholders on a pro rata basis. Pro rata means that if you own 10% of the common shares, you will receive 10% of the dividend. Cash dividends, which predominate in practice, and stock dividends, which are declared with some frequency, are both discussed in this chapter. Dividends are generally reported quarterly as a dollar amount per share, although sometimes they are reported on an annual basis. Cash dividends: a cash dividend is a pro rata (proportional to ownership) distribution of cash to stockholders. For a corporation to pay a cash dividend, it must have the following: retained earnings. Payment of dividends from retained earnings is legal in all states. Companies are frequently constrained by loan agreements to pay dividends only from retained earnings. Many states, prohibit payment of dividends from legal capital.
