To enter the dividends amount, move to the Dividends (cents per share) field and enter the number of cents you wish to pay as a dividend per share.

Dividends are paid on the number of shares outstanding at the end of the previous period (as listed on your balance sheet report).

In MikesBikes-Advanced you may not pay out in total dividends more than double your profit in the last period. (Understandably, the directors won't approve it.) If you attempt to pay more than this then a message box appears telling you why you may not pay more, and telling you the maximum amount you may pay.
