Where does dividends belong in the elements of financial statements?

Dividends are subtracted from retained earnings at the end of the period. Dividend is a distribution of profit to the shareholders. Net income is either retained within the firm (used to fund growth), or paid out as a dividend. Retained earnings (profits that are retained) increases with net income, and decreases with dividends. Dividends is therefore included on the statement of retained earnings (the actual name of the statement may differ, for example it may be called 'movements in equity'). There may be a liability 'dividends payable' on the balance sheet. This is the unpaid portion (still payable) of the dividends at year's end. It is not safe to assume this equals total dividends (as some portion could already been paid).

What is the meaning of unlimited company?

A business can be carried on by an individual (as a sole proprietor), a partnership, or a corporation. The word 'limited' means that the liability of a shareholder for the unpaid debts of a corporation is limited to the amount of money the person has invested in the corporation. The person can lose his or her investment if the corporation 'goes under' but the creditors of the corporation can't make the shareholder 'pony up' for any more. The word 'company' simply indicates that there is more than one person involved. It is an imprecise word that is in general everyday use, and has no special meaning in corporate law. It does not, by itself, indicate a limited liability corporation. Frankly, it would be best to avoid the use of that word, since its meaning can be misleading. When you referred to 'unlimited company' you probably intended to refer to the concept of 'unlimited liability.' If a business which is being carried on as a sole proprietorship or a partnership is not incorporated, and 'goes under,' the proprietor or partners are personally liable for the debts of the business.

The word "limited" stands for "limited liability". This means that the liability of a shareholder in a company for the company's debts (for example, in an insolvency or liquidation scenario) is "limited" to any unpaid capital on their shares.
