    June 15 Dividend expenses $120,000

    Dividend Payable 120,000

    July 10 Dividend Payable 120,000

    Cash 120,000

    Dec 15 Dividend Expenses 146, 400

    Dividend payable 146,400

    Explanation:

    when dividend is declared and cash is yet to be paid, dividend expenses account will debited while dividend payable account will be credited.

    when cash is paid for the dividend, dividend payable account will be credited while the cash account will be credited.

    As at June 30, total number of shares outstanding = 95,000 + 25,000 = 120,000

    As at December 31, the total number of outstanding shares = 95,000 + 25,000 + 2,000 = 122,000
