Particulars

Amount ($)

Retained earnings January 1, 2016

115,000

Retained earnings December 31, 2016

135,500

Increase or decrease from the items in 2016

= Retained earnings December 31, 2016 -Retained earnings January 1, 2016

There is an increase of $ 20,500 in retained earnings from January 1, 2016 ($ 115,000) to December 31, 2016 ($ 135,500).

Working Notes:

* Retained earnings are impacted at the time the dividends were declared, not at the time of payment.

Explanation: -

(a)Journal entry for dividend declaration

Retained earnings         Debit          $ 25,000

                    Dividend payable                          Credit   $ 25,000

(a)Journal entry for dividend payment

Dividend payable          Debit         $ 19,250

               Cash                                                      Credit    $ 19,250

Note: Dividends are treated as a debit in the retained earnings account whether paid or not. For example, ABC board of directors declare a dividend of $60,000, and then it will deduct from the company's retained earnings even if the dividend has not yet been paid.
