ACG 2021Financial Accounting Stockholder’s Equity Section of the Balance Sheet
Stockholders’ Equity Two main components: • Paid-in capital (contributed capital) • Amount contributed by stockholders • Stock (At Par) • Additional Paid in Capital • Retained earnings • Equity Earned but not paid in Dividends
The par value of a stock was the share price upon initial offering; the issuing company promised not to issue further shares below par value, so investors could be confident that no one else was receiving a more favorable issue price. This was far more important in unregulated equity markets than in the regulated markets that exist today. Quoted from Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Par_value Most common stocks issued today do not have par values; those that do (usually only in jurisdictions where par values are required by law) have extremely low par values, for example a penny par value on a stock issue at USD$25/share. What is Par Value
Capital Stock • Authorized shares • Total # of Shares available for sale • Outstanding shares • Total # of Shares actually sold • Represents 100% ownership • Often Less than shares authorized
Types of Capital Stock • Common Stock • Residual Equity Holder • Paid Dividends after Preferred Stockholders • After Creditors & Preferred Stockholders are satisfied, Common stockholder receives liquidation • Dividends are not subject to Limit • Voting Rights (controls the corporation)
Types of Capital Stock • Preferred Stock • Rights and Privileges • Current Dividend Preference • May be in Arrears • Though in Arrears is not a liability • Dividends are still discretionary
