    You can debit the balance sheet (retained earning account ) by 50 and pnl by 50 and credit the divedent payable account.. this is the direct entry

    If you want you can also first debit pnl and credit retained earning the you balance at retained earning would be 100 and then once again debit retained earning and credit dividend payable
