Acompany's board of directors votes to declare a cash dividend of $1.00 per share on its 12,000 common shares outstanding. the journal entry to record the payment of the cash dividend is:

Common dividend payable A/c Dr  $12,000

         To Cash A/c  $12,000

(Being the dividend is paid)

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Common dividend payable A/c Dr  $12,000

         To Cash A/c  $12,000

(Being the dividend is paid)

The computation is shown below:

= Number of common shares × cash dividend per share

= 12,000 common shares × $1 per share

= $12,000

Since the common dividend payable is a liability account so we debited it and since the payment is made which reduces the cash balance so we credited it
