    First thing you need to know on this is when were the dividends declared:

    If dividends were declared in a previous accounting period the journal entry would have been:

    Debit Dividends for 3,200
    Credit Dividends Payable for 3,200

    Now the journal entry to pay the dividends would be:
    Debit dividends Payable for 3,200
    Credit Cash for 3,200

    If the Dividends are declared and paid in the same accounting period the journal entry will be:
    Debit Dividends for 3,200
    Credit Cash for 3,200
