Question

Difference between proposed dividend interim dividend

Answer 1

interim dividend is the dividend that the company has already paid during the year and proposed dividend is the amount the company has to pay in year end

Answer 2

Interim dividend Vs Proposed dividend:

Interim Dividend is announced and distributed before the knowledge of the company's annual income. These are paid from the undistributed reserves saved from the earlier periods.

At the end of the financial time period, the proposed dividend is distributed and the company's people already have the knowledge of the profit and financial condition. Thus, the proposed dividend appears in the "balance sheet" under current liabilities of the current period and has the largest payout.
