The correct option is debit to Dividends Payable

On the declaration date of dividends,the appropriate entries in the books of accounts would be to debit retained earnings since dividends are appropriated from retained earnings and a credit to dividends payable as an outstanding obligation owed to shareholders.

On payment date(August 15,2007),a debit would be passed in the dividends payable account and a credit sent to cash/bank account as an outflow of cash from the business to stockholders.

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
