Answer:
When a dividend is paid in form of asset then it is called as Property dividend.
Explanation:
Property dividend-
- Instead of making a cash or stock payment, a company may pay a non-monetary dividend to its shareholders.
- This distribution should be recorded at the fair market value of the assets distributed.
- Because the fair market value of the assets is likely to differ from the book value, the difference will be recorded as a gain or loss.
- This accounting rule can sometimes cause a company to purposefully issue property dividends in order to change its taxable and/or reported income.
- In general, assets that are no longer needed by the company are distributed as dividends to stockholders.
- A company may use its products to pay dividends on occasion. Securities of the Company's subsidiaries may also be paid out as property dividends.
Hence, when a dividend is paid in form of assets of the company then is is known as Property Dividend.
