In accounting, dividends can be found by looking at the financial statements of a company, specifically the statement of retained earnings. Dividends are typically listed as a separate line item under the equity section of the balance sheet or as a separate entry in the statement of cash flows.
These models use three alternative cash-flow measures: dividends, accounting earnings, and free cash flows.
Debit Withdraw account and Credit Cash
Debit Cash Received Credit Income/Sales
Dividends, cash or otherwise, are taxed as ordinary income.
Cash flow statements can be used by businesses to track all cash that flows in and out of their operations. They can help small business owners understand the difference between the cash flow and net income and justify cash movements in accounting.
