    Declared and paid cash
    Hi! What is the title of accounts for declared and paid a $668 cash dividend? I got it wrong on assignment because I wrote that title of accounts is dividend. Everything else I got correct. I wrote that title of accounts is cash- credit and I want to know what account title is for debit. Is it Retained earnings?

    I would expect a dividend due account would be created when the dividend is declared, transferring the amount from retained earnings and this account would be debited on payment
