- The four dates that are important in regard to the cash dividend are given below:
-
1. Declaration date
2. Ex-dividend date
3. Date of record
4. Date of payment
- The entry that is provided on declaration date by the corporation is given below:
| Date | Account Titles and explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
| Retained earnings | xxx | ||
| Dividend payable | xxx | ||
| ( To record declaration of cash dividend payable) |

- No entry is made for ex-dividend date by the corporation as the dividend that cannot be claimed by the stockholder because the stockholder did not hold the stock, two days prior to date of record. A stockholder is entitled for dividend only if he holds the stock as on the date of record.
- On the date of record the company makes a memorandum entry which indicates that date of record has been reached and showing the future dividend payment date.
- On date of payment the corporation makes the entry as to eliminate the liability and reduce cash.
