Yes, it is as you have written for both the SOFP and the SOCE. Have you watched my free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

Sorry, my mistake - I read your post too quickly before and you have not made all the dates clear. If the year end is 30 June 2016, then the 100,000 and the 40,000 had both been paid before the year end so there was nothing owing as at 30 June 2016. The 20,000 dividend was not declared until after 30 June 2016 and therefore again there was nothing owing as at 30 June 2016. So there is indeed nothing to appear in the SOFP.
