1. Chapter 11
Stockholders’ Equity

2. Stockholders’ Equity Stockholders: Stockholders’ equity:
Owners of a corporation
Have a residual interest in assets after liabilities are satisfied
Stockholders’ equity:
Two major components
Contributed capital
Retained earnings
LO 1

3. Stockholders’ Equity Contributed Capital: Retained earnings:
Amount a corporation receives from the sale of stock (common or preferred) to the stockholders
Additional Paid-In Capital : amount received at issuance that exceeds the par value of the stock
Retained earnings:
Amount of net income, over the life of the company not paid out as dividends
An important link between the income statement and the balance sheet

4. EXHIBIT 11.1—Advantages and Disadvantages of Stock versus Debt Financing

5. Stockholders’ Equity on the Balance Sheet
The basic accounting equation:
Two major components or subcategories:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity

6. Components of the Stockholders’ Equity Section of the Balance Sheet
Number of Shares
Par Value
Additional Paid-In Capital
Retained Earnings

7. Contributed Capital Common stock Preferred stock Carries voting rights
The common stockholders elect the corporation’s officers
Establish its bylaws and governing rules
Preferred stock
Flexible and tailored to a company’s needs
Preference in dividends

8. Number of Shares
Authorized shares: the maximum number of shares a corporation may issue as indicated in the corporate charter
Issued shares: the number of shares sold or distributed to stockholders
Outstanding shares: the number of shares issued less the number of shares held as treasury stock

9. Par Value
An arbitrary amount that represents the legal capital of the firm
Stated on the face of the stock certificate
Also called “stated value”
Amount presented in the stock account

10. Additional Paid-In Capital & Retained Earnings
Additional paid-in capital: the amount received for the issuance of stock in excess of the par value of the stock
Retained earnings: net income that has been made by the corporation but not paid out as dividends
Not necessarily available to stockholders
May be used for purchase of assets, the retirement of debt, or other financial needs

11. Exhibit 11.2—Retained Earnings Connects the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet

12. IFRS and Stockholders’ Equity
Items that have characteristics of both debt and equity
Example: Convertible bond is similar to debt but because it will become stock if converted, it also has the characteristics of equity
International accounting rules
An item having both debt and equity component should be separated into two parts—liability and stockholders’ equity
U.S. accounting standards
Do not require to be recorded as a separate amount
Recorded as either liability or stockholders’ equity

13. Preferred Stock Flexible and tailored to a company’s needs
Dividends must be distributed to preferred stockholders before common stockholders
Right to the company’s assets before the common stockholders during liquidation
The dividend rate may be stated in two ways:
Percentage of the stock’s par value
Per-share amount
LO 2

14. Preferred Stock Additional Terms and Features
Convertible: allows preferred stock to be exchanged for common stock
Redeemable: allows stockholders to sell stock back to the company
Callable: allows the firm to eliminate a class of stock by paying the stockholders a specified amount

15. Preferred Stock Additional Terms and Features
Cumulative: the right to dividends in arrears before the current-year dividend is distributed
Participating: allows preferred stockholders to share on a percentage basis in the distribution of an abnormally large dividend

16. Issuance of Stock Issued for cash or for noncash assets
When issued for cash:
Par value reported in the stock account
Amount in excess of par is reported in the Paid-In Capital account
When exchanged for noncash items:
Recorded at the fair market value of the stock or the assets received, whichever is most readily determined
LO 3

17. Example 11.1—Recording Stock Issued for Cash
Assume that on July 1, a firm issued 1,000 shares of $10 par common stock for $15 per share

18. Example 11.2—Recording Stock for Noncash Consideration
Assume that on July 1, a firm issued 500 shares of $10 par preferred stock to acquire a building. The stock is not widely traded, and the current market value of the stock is not evident. The building has recently been appraised by an independent firm as having a market value of $12,000

19. Treasury Stock
Represents the corporation’s own stock, previously issued to shareholders, repurchased from stockholders and not retired, but held for various purposes
Repurchase is recorded as a debit to Treasury Stock, a contra-equity account
For an amount to be treated as treasury stock:
It must be the corporation’s own stock
It must have been issued to the stockholders at some point
It must have been repurchased from the stockholders
It must not be retired, but must be held for some purpose
LO 4

20. Example 11.3—Recording the Purchase of Treasury Stock
Assume that the Stockholders’ Equity section of Rezin Company’s balance sheet on December 31, 2014, appears as follows:

21. Example 11.3—Recording the Purchase of Treasury Stock (continued)
Assume that on February 1, 2015, Rezin buys 100 of its shares as treasury stock at $25 per share.

22. Stockholders’ Equity Section
The Stockholders’ Equity section of Rezin’s balance sheet on February 1, 2015, after the purchase of the treasury stock

23. Retirement of Stock Repurchase of stock with no intention of reissuing
To eliminate a particular class of stock or group of stockholders
The general principle for retirement of stock is the same as for treasury stock transactions
No income statement accounts are affected
Effect is reflected in the Cash account and the Stockholders’ Equity accounts

24. Cash Dividends
Declared only if a company has sufficient cash available and adequate retained earnings
Not an expense on the income statement
Date of declaration: cash dividends are declared
Payment date: cash dividends are paid
Date of record: dividend is paid to the stockholders who own the stock as of this date
LO 5

25. Dividend Payout Ratio =
The annual dividend amount divided by the annual net income
Ratio for many firms is 50% or 60% and seldom exceeds 70%
Annual Dividend
Annual Net Income
Dividend Payout Ratio =

26. Example 11.4—Recording the Declaration of a Dividend
Assume that on July 1, the board of directors of Grant Company declared a cash dividend of $7,000 to be paid on September 1.

27. Example 11.5—Computing Dividend Payments for Noncumulative Preferred Stock
Assume that on December 31, 2014, Stricker Company has outstanding 10,000 shares of $10 par, 8% preferred stock and 40,000 shares of $5 par common stock. Stricker was unable to declare a dividend in 2012 or 2013 but wants to declare a $70,000 dividend for 2014

28. Example 11.6—Computing Dividend Payments for Cumulative Preferred Stock
If the terms of the stock agreement in Example 11.5 indicate that the preferred stock is cumulative, the preferred stockholders have a right to dividends in arrears before the current year’s dividend is distributed

29. Stock Dividends
The issuance of additional shares of stock to existing stockholders
Firms use stock dividends for several reasons
Do not require the use of cash
Reduce the market price of the stock
The lower price may make the stock more attractive
Do not represent taxable income to recipients
LO 6

30. Example 11.7—Recording a Small Stock Dividend
Assume that Shah Company’s Stockholders’ Equity category of the balance sheet appears as follows as of January 1, 2014:

31. Example 11.7—Recording a Small Stock Dividend (continued)
Assume that on January 2, 2014, Shah declares a 10% stock dividend to common stockholders to be distributed on April 1, Small stock dividends (usually those of 20% to 25%) normally are recorded at the market value of the stock as of the date of declaration. Assume that Shah’s common stock is selling at $40 per share on that date

32. Stockholders’ Equity Section

33. Example 11.8—Recording the Declaration of a Large Stock Dividend
Assume that instead of a 10% dividend, on January 2, 2014, Shah declares a 100% stock dividend to be distributed on April 1, The stock dividend results in 5,000 additional shares being issued and certainly meets the definition of a large stock dividend

34. Example 11.8—Recording the Declaration of a Large Stock Dividend (continued)
The effect when the stock is actually distributed is as follows:
The Stockholders’ Equity category of Shah’s balance sheet as of April 1 after the stock dividend is as follows:

35. Stock Splits
The creation of additional shares of stock with a reduction of the par value of the stock
Stock Dividends
Do not affect the par value per share
Recorded
Stock Splits
Reduce the par value per share
Not recorded
Note is disclosed in the balance sheet
LO 7

36. Example 11.9—Reporting a Stock Split
Refer to the Shah Company in Examples 11-7 and Assume that on January 2, 2014,Shah issued a 2-for-1 stock split instead of a stock dividend. The split results in an additional 5,000 shares of stock outstanding but is not recorded in a formal accounting transaction. Therefore, the Stockholders’ Equity section of Shah Company immediately after the stock split on January 2, 2014, is as follows:

37. Statement of Stockholders’ Equity
Explains the reasons for the difference between the beginning and ending balances for all accounts in the Stockholders’ Equity category of the balance sheet
LO 8

38. Exhibit 11.3—Fun Fitness’s Statement of Stockholders’ Equity, 2014

39. Comprehensive Income
Total change in net assets from all sources except investments by or distributions to the owners
Important measure of a company’s profitability
One-statement approach
Showed at the bottom of the income statement
Two-statement approach
Statement of Comprehensive Income must be presented (indicated in Exhibit 11.4—next slide)

40. Exhibit 11.4—The Relationship between the Income Statement and the Statement of Comprehensive Income

41. Book Value Per Share
Rights of each share of stock to the net assets of the company
If preferred stock is present, stockholders’ equity must be adjusted to reflect its liquidation value
LO 9

42. Calculating Book Value When Preferred Stock Is Present
Exhibit 11.5—Workout Wonders’ Stockholders’ Equity Section
$13,972 − $500 = $13,472 million common stockholders’ equity
$13,472 /1,679 = $8.02 Book Value per Share

43. Market Value per Share
The selling price of the stock as indicated by the most recent transactions
More meaningful measure of the value of the stock
Example: the listing for Nike Inc. stock on the Internet may indicate the following:

44. Exhibit 11.6—The Effect of Stockholders’ Equity Items on the Statement of Cash Flows

45. Sole Proprietorships Business owned by one person
The owner have an unlimited liability
Not a separate entity for legal or tax purposes
Assets and liabilities of the owner must be kept separate from the business
Owners’ equity is one account—the owner’s capital account
LO 11

46. Example 11.10—Recording Investments in a Sole Proprietorship
Assume that on January 1, 2014, Peter Tom began a new business by investing $10,000 cash

47. Example 11.10—Recording Investments in a Sole Proprietorship (continued)
Assume that on July 1, 2014, Peter Tom took an auto valued at $6,000 from the business to use as his personal auto

48. Example 11.10—Recording Investments in a Sole Proprietorship (continued)
The Peter Tom, Drawing account is a contra-equity account. An increase in the account reduces the owner’s equity. At the end of the fiscal year, the drawing account should be closed to the capital account and the effect is as follows:

49. Example 11.10—Recording Investments in a Sole Proprietorship (continued)
Assume that all revenue and expense accounts of Peter Tom Company have been closed to the Income Summary account, resulting in a balance of $4,000, the net income for the year

50. Example 11.10—Recording Investments in a Sole Proprietorship (continued)
The Owner’s Equity section of the balance sheet

51. Partnerships More than one owner
Separate capital account is maintained for each partner, as well as separate drawing accounts
Partnership agreement governs how income (losses) will be distributed
Unlimited liability
Limited life
Not taxed as a separate entity
Income is taxed on each owner’s tax return

52. Partnership Agreement
Specifies how much the owners will invest, what their salaries will be, and how profits will be shared

53. Example 11.11—Recording Investments in a Partnership
Assume that on January 1, 2014, Paige Thoms and Amy Rebec begin a partnership named AP Company. Paige contributes $10,000 cash, and Amy contributes equipment valued at $5,000

54. Example 11.11—Recording Investments in a Partnership (continued)
Assume that on April 1, 2014, each owner withdraws $2,000 of cash from AP Company

55. Distribution of Income
Assume that AP Company has $30,000 of net income for the period and has established an agreement that income should be allocated evenly between the two partners, Paige and Amy. Each capital account would be increased by $15,000

56. Distribution of Income (continued)
Paige and Amy may specify that all income of AP Company should be allocated in a 2-to-1 ratio, with Paige receiving the larger portion

57. Distribution of Income (continued)
Assume that the partnership agreement of AP Company specifies that Paige and Amy be allowed a salary of $6,000 and $4,000, respectively; that each partner receive 10% on her capital balance; and that any remaining income be allocated equally. Assume that AP Company has been in operation for several years and that the capital balances of the owners at the end of 2014, before the income distribution, are as follows:
Paige Thoms, Capital $40,000
Amy Rebec, Capital 50,000

58. Distribution of Income (continued)
If AP Company calculated that its 2014 net income (before partner salaries) was $30,000, income would be allocated between the partners as follows:

59. Distribution of Income (continued)
Paige Thoms, Capital would be increased by $15,500, and Amy Rebec, Capital, by $14,500. The effect of closing the Income Summary account to the capital accounts is as follows:
This indicates that the amounts of $15,500 and $14,500 were allocated to Paige and Amy, respectively. It does not indicate the amount actually paid to (or withdrawn by) the partners.
