Answer:
c) $25,000
Explanation:
A property dividend should be recorded in retained earnings at the property's <u>market value at date of declaration.</u>
<u>The date of declaration is the date on which the firm has made the commitment to pay the dividend. The market value on this date is the value that was considered when the board made the decision to distribute a property dividend and thus is the appropriate measure of the sacrifice to the firm.
</u>
<u>
</u>In application to the scenario, <u>the property dividend will be recorded in retained earnings at the market value at the date of declaration which is Jan 15 </u>NOT on the day it is payable.
Hence, retained earnings will reduce by $25,000
