[@SubhashChandraDey-h2m]

People like you make this planet sunny any warm. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@abujubaerjuwel3607]

Thanks a Lot. These videos are helpful. I appreciate all your effort.

Nothing like investing in a business and watching that sweet passive income from dividends come in :)

[@DorianPaige00]

I don't think the shareholders want a $10 bottle of wine. (LOL)

[@hershfam]

So a dividend is almost like profit sharing?

[@Salil-gw8cq]

Vividly explained

[@suyashmulbagal5528]

In the last part, you made the journal entry (Dr. Retained Earnings & Cr. Dividends Payable), so shouldn't this mean that Assets stay the same, but Liabilities [increase] and Equity [decreases]? Unless the dividends are paid in cash, then Assets would decrease. Is my understanding correct?

[@hugosmith6776]

not completely sure, but there wasn't any liabilities in this example.

[@richardmiller4560]

Yes, he skipped that step and went straight to the distribution of the dividends. Since he introduced dividends payable in the equation you are correct than the last step would be decrease dividends payable and than cash.

[@azizkhushaim9213]

clear explanation BUT I had to turn the volume all the way up and still hard to hear

[@Edspira]

This is one of my older videos from 2013. I've gotten a better microphone, and new videos should be much better. Thanks for the comment!

[@ShelbuluTV]

I could hear fine and I only had the volume 1/3 turned up. Could be the headphones or speakers used sometimes.
