21.1.2 Calculate and Distribute Dividends • Corporation’s board of directors votes to reinvest any profits into a business or can declare a dividend with some or all of the profits. • Dividend can be expressed as a percentage of the par value of the shares, or as a dollar amount per share. • Usually declaredquarterly.

Key Terms • Cumulative preferred stock: preferred stock that earns dividends every year. • Dividends in arrears: dividends that were not paid in a previous year and must be paid to cumulative preferred stockholders before dividends can be distributed to other stockholders.
How to calculate and distribute dividends 1.First pay dividends in arrears: • Multiply the number of shares held by preferred stockholders by the given rate, expressed as dollars per share. • Subtract those dividends in arrears from the available amount of money (continued next slide)
Calculate and distribute dividends 2.Pay the present year’s preferred stock dividends: • Multiply the number of preferred shares held by stockholders by the given rate. • Subtract these preferred stock dividends from the difference from step 1b. (continued on next slide)
Finally… 3.Pay the common stock dividend: Divide the difference from step 2b by the number of common shares held by stockholders. This is the dividend per share paid to common stockholders.
Look at this example Your company has issued 20,000 shares of cumulative preferred stock that will earn dividends at $0.60 per share, and 100,000 shares of common stock. Last year, you paid no dividends. This year, $250,000 is available for dividends. How are the dividends to be distributed? (next slide)
Pay the stockholders • Pay last year’s dividends in arrears: 20,000 x $0.60 = $12,000 (to preferred stockholders) • Pay preferred stockholders for this year: 20,000 x $0.60 = $12,000 • The remaining amount ($226,000) is divided among the 100,000 shares of common stock yielding a payout of $2.26 per share. Preferred stockholders receive $24,000 and common stockholders receive $226,000.
Try this example The Puffer Fish Company has issued 10,000 shares of cumulative preferred stock that will earn dividends of $0.80 per share and 50,000 shares of common stock. Last year they paid no dividends. This year $100,000 is available for dividends. How are the dividends to be distributed? Preferred stockholders will receive $16,000 &common stockholders will receive $84,000, at $1.68 per share.

21.2.3 Read Mutual Fund Listings 1. Find the appropriate fund family (bold entry in column 1). 2. Find the appropriate fund name (indented entry in column 1). 3. Find the mutual fund symbol in column 2. 4. Find the net asset value (NAV) in column 3. 5. Identify the one-day total change (Chg) from column 4. 6.

How to find the NAV at the beginning of the year for a mutual fund 1. Divide the current NAV by the sum of: 100% and YTD% return. Beginning of year NAV = current NAV 100% + YTD% return 2. Round the quotient to the nearest cent.
Look at this example Using Table 21-3, find the beginning of year NAV for AWSBX. Beginning of year NAV = current NAV 100% + YTD% Beginning of year NAV = 16.48 1.048 • The beginning of year NAV = $15.73.
