SBRHelp with dividend payment

Mmegavain15y ago
Hi everybody, please share experience. In consolidation when calculating Post Acquired Profit we will take account Retain Earning @reporting date. If in period Company had paid dividend so reduce the balance. So by reporting date, we will add up this amount?

Hi, which question are you looking at? Maybe if I can see the question I could better understand your confusion :)

Not in the question, in practice. Our subsidiary pay dividend and pay bonus for directors-shareholder agree to take it from retained earning. and every year it will do like this, so how to treat if based on Retain Earnings Account only.

Debit Retained Earnings, Credit Accounts Payable ( dividend ) ?

Or am I missing something?
