    Shareholders for dividends $93,000 (debit)

    Cash $93,000 (credit)

    Explanation:

    Autumnâ Services, Inc holds a 12 % voting stock in Springâ Metals therefore it does not have control in terms of IFRS 10 and no consolidated statements must be produced.

    The Acquisition of shares is thus a Financial Asset for Autumnâ Services, Inc.

    When dividend is declared, recognize an equity item and a Liability in Spring Metals

    Dividend $93,000 (debit)

    Shareholders for dividends $93,000 (credit)

    Dividend = 124,000*$ 0.75 per share

    = $93,000

    March 2, 2019

    De-recognise the liability and de-recognise the cash asset in Spring Metals

    Shareholders for dividends $93,000 (debit)

    Cash $93,000 (credit)
