    A dividend is income, a return on investment, you will credit dividends received and debit cash

    Hi,

    Before this question, I have another question for investment to this company, I record as DR investment - Hip Hop Ltd Industries, CR cash) but I didn't send a special account for Dividend.

    So, I have to creak a new account for dividend income?

    Thanks and regards,
    Miu

    No you must correctly intrepret what is said to you and change your thinking if necessary

    An initial investment in a company would be as you describe but when you receive a return on your investment that is income

    Dr cash credit dividend received

    If you want to keep a record of dividends received you would handle that differently creating an investment register where you record investments and the dividends you receive

    Hi,

    Do you mind I show you're the question that I record for investment? Because I know this web is not for homework, but I need to understand the concept through this question.

    Let me know if you don't mind to teach.

    Thanks and regards,
    Michelle
