  2. Ch. 11 Reporting & Analyzing Stockholders’ Equity After studying Chapter 11, you should be able to: • Identify and discuss the major characteristics of a corporation. • Record the issuance of common stock. • Explain the accounting for purchase of treasury stock. • Differentiate preferred stock from common stock. • Prepare the entries for cash dividends and stock dividends. • Identify the items that affect retained earnings. • Prepare a comprehensive stockholders' equity section. • Evaluate a corporation's dividend and earnings performance from a stockholder's perspective.

  3. Corporation • Possess legal entity • Created by law • Has most of the rights and privileges of a person • Classified by purpose and ownership • Purpose - profit or nonprofit • Ownership - publicly or privately held • Publicly Held -May have thousands of stockholders and its stock is regularly traded on national securities markets. • Privately Held -May have few stockholders and does not offer its stock for sale to general public.

  4. Characteristics of a Corporation • Separate legal existence • Limited liability of stockholders • Transferable ownership rights • Ability to acquire capital • Continuous life • Formation of corporation • Corporation management • Government regulations • Additional taxes • Stockholder rights • see illus. 11-1, 11-3, p. 513

  5. Illustration 11-4 Stock Certificate Shows... • name of the corporation • stockholder's name • class and special features of the stock • the number of shares owned • the signatures of duly authorized corporate officials.

  6. Questions in Issuing Stock... • How many shares should be authorized for sale? Authorized shares = Max. amount of stock a corporation is allowed to sell as authorized by corporate charter. Outstanding stock = # shares of issued stock held by stockholders. • How should the stock be issued? - Directly or through investment bankers. • At what price should the shares be issued? • Company's anticipated future earnings • Its expected dividend rate per share • Its current financial position • Current state of economy & securities market • What value should be assigned to the stock?

  7. Par Value Stock… - illus. 11-5 • Is capital stock that has been assigned an arbitrary value per share in the corporate charter. • Is usually low because some states levy a tax on the corporation based on par value. • The legal capital per share that must be retained in the business. No-Par Value Stock… Capital stock that has not been assigned a value per share in the corporate charter. Stated value = Amount per share assigned by the board of directors to no-par stock. Par & Stated Value have no relationship to Market Value

  8. Stockholders’ Equity Section of a Corporation’s Balance Sheet... • Two Parts: • Paid-in (contributed) capital (“PIC”) • Amount paid to corporation by stockholders for shares of ownership. • Retained earnings (earned capital) (“RE”). • Earned capital held for future use in the business.

  9. Accounting for Common Stock Issues • The issue of common stock affects only paid-in capital accounts. • When the issuance of common stock for cash is recorded, the par value of the shares is credited to Common Stock. • The portion of the proceeds above or below par value is recorded in a separate paid-in capital account.

  10. Issuing Stock at Par Assume Hydro-Slide, Inc., issues 1,000 shares of $1 par value of common stock at par for cash. Cash 1,000 Common Stock 1,000 Issuing Stock above Par If Hydro-Slide, Inc., issues an additional 1,000 shares of the $1 par value common stock for cash at $5 per share, the entry is: Cash 5,000 Common Stock 1,000 Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Val. 4,000

  12. Treasury Stock... Is a corporation's own stock • that has been issued • fully paid for • reacquired by the corporation • held in its treasury for future use. Why Acquire Treasury Stock... • Reissue shares to officers and employees under bonus and stock compensation plans. • Increase trading of company's stock in securities market in hopes of enhancing market value. • Have additional shares available for use in acquisition of other companies. • Reduce number of shares outstanding thereby increasing earnings per share. • Prevent a hostile takeover.

  13. Purchase of Treasury Stock On February 1, 2001, Mead acquires 4,000 shares of its stock at $8 per share. Treasury Stock 32,000 Cash 32,000 • The Treasury Stock account would increase by the cost of the shares purchased - $32,000. • The original paid-in capital account, Common Stock, would not be affected because the number of issued shares does not change. • Treasury stock is deducted from total paid-in capital and retained earnings in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet.

  14. Mead, Inc. Balance Sheet (partial) Illustration 11-8 • Stockholders' equity • Paid-in capital • Common stock,$5par value, • 100,000 shares issued and • 96,000 outstanding $ 500,000 • Retained Earnings 200,000 • Total stockholders’ equity 700,000 • Less: Treasury Stock 32,000 • Total stockholders’ equity $ 668,000 AFTER TREASURY STOCK TRANSACTION

  15. Preferred Stock... Capital stock that has contractual preferences over common stock in certain areas. Dividends Assets in the event of liquidation • Preferred stockholders do not have voting rights. • Assume Corporation issues 10,000 shares of $10 par value preferred stock for $12 cash per share. Cash 120,000 • Preferred Stock 100,000 • Paid-in Capital in Excess 20,000 • of Par Value--Preferred Stock • (Preferred stock may have either a par value or no-par value.)

  16. Preferred Dividend... Cumulative - Is a feature of preferred stock entitling the stockholder to receive current & unpaid prior-year dividends before common stockholders receive any dividends. No guarantee of dividend payment. Liquidation Pref. - feature that gives preferred stockholders preference to corporate assets in the event of liquidation. Arrears -Are preferred dividends that were scheduled to be declared but were not declared during a given period. Are not a liability. No liability exists until a dividends is declared by board of directors. Must be disclosed in the notes to financial statements. Dividends in arrears ($35,000 x 2 years) $ 70,000 Current-year dividends 35,000 Total preferred dividends $105,000

  17. Dividend... • Is a distribution by a corporation to its stockholders on a pro rata basis. • Pro rata means that if you own 10% of the common shares, you will receive 10% of the dividend. • Dividend forms: • cash - need RE, cash, declared dividend • property • script (promissory note to pay cash) • stock.

  18. The Declaration Date... • Is the date the board of directors declares the cash dividend. • Commits the corporation to a binding legal obligation that cannot be rescinded.

A Stock Dividend... • Is a pro rata distribution of corporation's own stock to stockholders. • Is paid in stock. • Results in a decrease in RE &increase in PIC. • Does not decrease total stockholders' equity or total assets. • Is often issued by companies that do not have adequate cash to issue a cash dividend. • You have a 2% ownership interest in Cetus Inc., owning 20 of its 1,000 shares of common stock. • In a 10% stock dividend, 100 shares (1,000 x 10%) of stock would be issued. You would receive two shares (2% x 100), but your ownership interest would remain at 2% (22 /1,100). • You now own more shares of stock, but your ownership interest has not changed.
