He also has 5,000 preferred shares outstanding. They are all owned by his father and are cumulative, paying a dividend of $4 per share. For the first time, no dividends were paid last year. It would be expected that a $100,000 dividend would be declared on November 1 of this year with a payment date of February 1. Sam would like the journal entry for the issuance of the shares and any dividend entries for this year under the assumption the dividend does get declared.
