The company decided not to pay any dividends in 2020.
The board of directors, at their annual meeting on December 21,
2021, declared the following: “The current year dividends shall be
6% on the preferred and $0.30 per share on the common. The
dividends in arrears shall be paid by issuing 1,420 shares of
treasury stock.” At the date of declaration, the preferred is
selling at $84 per share, and the common at $12 per share. Net
income for 2021 is estimated at $70,200.
(a) Prepare the journal entries required for the
dividend declaration and payment, assuming that they occur

decimal places, e.g. 3,487.)
(b) Could Shamrock Corporation give the
preferred stockholders 2 years’ dividends and common stockholders a

(a)
Date | Account Titles and Explanation | Debit | Credit |
Dec. 31, 2021 | For preferred dividends in arrears: | ||
Retained earnings | 17040 | ||
Treasury stock | 17040 | ||
Dec. 31, 2021 | For preferred current year dividends: | ||
Retained earnings | 17040 | ||
Cash | 17040 | ||
Dec. 31, 2021 | For common share dividend: | ||
Retained earnings | 94926 | ||
Cash | 94926 |
Working:
Preferred dividend in arrears = 6% x $284000 = $17040
Current year preferred dividend = 6% x $284000 = $17040
Common dividend = $0.30 x (318000 - 3000 + 1420) = $0.30 x 316420 = $94926
(b) Yes.
Total dividends are $17040 + $17040 + $94926 = $129006 while the available cash balance is $209000. Hence, Shamrock could give the entire dividends in cash.
