The journal entry for dividends paid to shareholders typically involves a debit to the Dividends Payable account and a credit to the Cash account. This reflects the reduction in liabilities as the company pays out dividends and the decrease in cash. For example, if a company pays $1,000 in dividends, the entry would be: Debit Dividends Payable $1,000 and Credit Cash $1,000. This transaction indicates that the company has fulfilled its obligation to distribute profits to its shareholders.
