Dividends declared in 2004 are net income less the increase in retained earnings ($800,000 $300,000 = $500,000). Dividends declared less the increase in dividends payable is dividends paid ($500,000 – ($300,000 $200,000) = $400,000). This is a cash outflow so it is a negative number. Dividends are always cash flow from financing. Note that accounts payable changes are included in cash flow from operations (CFO). |
