Krull Corporation presented the following selected information. The company has a calendar
year end. Before considering the effects of dividends, if any, Krull's net income for 20X7 was
$2,500,000. Before considering the effects of dividends, if any, Krull's net income for 20X8 was
$3,000,000. Krull declared $750,000 of dividends on November 15, 20X7. The date of record
was January 15, 20X8. The dividends were paid on February 1, 20X8. Stockholders' equity, at
January 1, 20X7, was $5,000,000. No transactions impacted stockholders' equity throughout
20X7 and 20X8, other than the impact of earnings and dividends on retained earnings.
(a) Prepare journal entries, if needed, to reflect the dividend declaration, the date of record, and
the date of payment. (b) How much was net income for 20X7 and 20X8?
(c) How much was total equity at the end of 20X7 and 20X8?
(d) Is total "working capital" reduced on the date of declaration, date of record, and/or date of
payment?
Solution
(a) Journal Entries for Dividend Declaration on 15.11.2007
Dividend A/c DR (Profit and Loss Account) $ 750,000
To Dividend Payable A/c (Current Liabilities) $ 750,000
No journal entry for date of record of dividend other than a memorandum entry on 15.01.2008
that the dividend declared will be paid to the shareholders
Journal Entry for Dividend Paid on 01.02.2008
Dividend Payable A/c DR (Liability Payment) $ 750,000
To Bank A/c $ 750,000
(b) Net Income for 2007 = $2,500,000 - $ 750,000 = $ 1,750,000
Net Income for 2008 = $ 3,000,000 since payment of dividend does not affect retained earnings
(c) Total equity at the end of 2007 = $ 5,000,000 - $750,000 = $ 4,250,000
Total equity at the end of 2008 = $ 4,250,000 (no change owing to dividend payment)
(d) Total "Working Capital" is only reduced by $750,000 on the date of declaration. There is no
journal entry on the date of record. The date of payment entry is a compensating one,affecting
both current assets and current liabilities, and hence the impact on Working Capital is NIL.

Krull Corporation presented the following selected information- The co.docx

  • 1. Krull Corporation presented the following selected information. The company has a calendar year end. Before considering the effects of dividends, if any, Krull's net income for 20X7 was $2,500,000. Before considering the effects of dividends, if any, Krull's net income for 20X8 was $3,000,000. Krull declared $750,000 of dividends on November 15, 20X7. The date of record was January 15, 20X8. The dividends were paid on February 1, 20X8. Stockholders' equity, at January 1, 20X7, was $5,000,000. No transactions impacted stockholders' equity throughout 20X7 and 20X8, other than the impact of earnings and dividends on retained earnings.

  • 2. (c) Total equity at the end of 2007 = $ 5,000,000 - $750,000 = $ 4,250,000 Total equity at the end of 2008 = $ 4,250,000 (no change owing to dividend payment) (d) Total "Working Capital" is only reduced by $750,000 on the date of declaration. There is no journal entry on the date of record. The date of payment entry is a compensating one,affecting both current assets and current liabilities, and hence the impact on Working Capital is NIL.
