They also issue dividends, or part of their net income, to stockholders as reward for their investment risk in the company.

Go over how to account for cash, property, stock, and cumulative preferred stock dividends. Plus, explore what Earnings per Share (EPS) is, why it needs to appear on a public company’s financial statement, and how to calculate it.
