The entry needed to close the dividend account is "Debit: Retained earnings $35,000 and credit: dividend expense $35,000" based on the journal transaction. The dividend is a portion of a company's earnings which be shared by the company to the investor as the return for their investment. This entry will decrease the retained earning balance.
