    Declaration:

    Dr retained earnings $135,000

    Cr dividends payable $135,000

    Record date:

    no entries are required

    Payment date:

    Dr dividends payable $135,000

    Cr cash $135,000

    Explanation:

    The declaration implies that an amount is set aside from retained earnings in order to pay dividends to stockholders, which means that retained earnings is debited with $135,000 while dividends payable is credited with the same amount.

    On payment date, the cash account would show a credit, an outflow while dividends payable is debited with $135,000 in order to show that the dividends obligation has been discharged
