Unit 1 and 2
Nature and Formation of a Partnership

A partnership is a contract whereby two or more persons bind themselves to contribute
money, property or industry into a common fund with the intention of dividing the profit
among themselves (Article 1767 of the Civil Code of the Philippines). This joint effort
may be supported by a partnership agreement known as the Articles of Co-Partnership,
which is an agreement in writing among the partners governing the nature and terms of
the partnership contract. A written agreement is required when partnership capital is P
3,000 or more in money or in property. The Article of Co-partnership helps in avoid
misunderstanding among the partners. The written agreement among the partners
governs the formation, operation and dissolution of the partnership and is required to be
registered with SEC. The Article of Co-partnership contains the following information:
1. The name of the partnership;
2. The names, addresses of the partners, classes of partners stating whether the
partner is a general or a limited partner;
3. The effective date of the contract;
4. The purpose and principal place of business of the business;
5. The capital of the partnership stating the contributions of each of the partners;
6. The rights and duties of each of the partners;
7. The manner of dividing profit or loss among the partners;
8. The conditions under which the partners may withdraw money or other assets;
9. The manner of keeping the books of accounts;
10. The causes for dissolution and the provision for arbitration in settling disputes.
Characteristics of a Partnership
1. Based on contract partnership is formed through the mutual agreement of all the
partners. The contract may be written or oral.
2. Voluntary association no one should be forced or coerced in joining a
partnership.
3. Mutual agency any partner may act as an agent of the partnership in conducting
its affairs.
4. Limited life a partnership may be dissolved at any time by action of the partners
or by operation of law. The withdrawal, death, retirement, bankruptcy, incapacity
of a partner and the admission of a new partner dissolves the partnership.
5. Unlimited liability the personal assets of a general partner may be used to
satisfy the claims of the creditors of the partnership if the partnership assets are
not enough to settle the liabilities to outsiders upon liquidation.
6. Co-ownership of property properties contributed to the partnership are owned
by the partnership. Properties invested by a partner cease to be his own personal
property.
Marivic Valenzuela-Manalo
7. Co-ownership of profit a partner has the right to share in partnership profits.

The partners are entitled to share in the firms profits as a return on their
investment.
8. Legal entity a partnership has a legal personality separate and distinct from that
of each of the partners.
9. Income tax partnerships are subject to income tax rate of 30% beginning the
fiscal year 2010 with the exception of general professional partnerships (i.e., those
partnerships organized for the exercise of professions, e.g., CPAs, doctors,
lawyers, etc.)
Advantages of a Partnership
1. It is easy and inexpensive to form and to dissolve. It may be created orally except
when partnership capital is P3,000 or more. A partnership is ended whenever
there are changes in the ownership structure such as withdrawal of a partner or
admission of a new partner.
2. Greater amount of capital may be raised compared to a sole proprietorship. The
combined capital of 2 or more partners offers a greater source of capital.
3. There is relative freedom and flexibility in decision-making compared to a
corporation. Decisions are effected simply by agreement among the partners
without the formalities necessary under a corporation.
4. It is better managed because more than one person supervises business affairs.
Better management results from the combined experience and ability of several
individuals.
5. The unlimited liability of general partners makes it reliable from the point of view
of creditors.
Disadvantages of a Partnership
1. There is lack of business continuity because it can be easily dissolved.
2. Limited amount of capital may be raised compared to a corporation.
3. The unlimited liability of a partnership deters many from joining in a partnership
form of business.
4. A general partner may be subjected to a personal liability for erroneous
management decisions made by his associates.
5. There is likelihood of dissension and disagreement when each of the partners has
the same authority in the management of the firm.
6. There is difficulty in transferring ownership interest because ownership interest in
the partnership cannot be transferred without the consent of all the partners.

Unit 3
Accounting for Division of Profits & Losses
Partnership Operations
Accounting for a partnership form of business is basically similar to that of a sole
proprietorship. For example, Purchase of supplies is debited either to Supplies or Supplies
Expense account and when merchandise are sold on account, the entry is to debit Accounts
receivable and credit the Sales account which is the same as that of a sole proprietorship In fact
the Accounting Cycle of a Partnership is similar to that of sole proprietorship:
1. Recording of the business transactions
2. Posting to ledgers
3. Preparing a trial balance
4. Preparing the worksheet
5. Recording adjusting entries
6. Prepare financial statements
7. Recording and posting closing entries
8. Preparing a post-closing trial balance
9. Recording and posting reversing entries
However, problems distinctive only to partnership operations are encountered in the
following:

Partnership net income or net loss is shared according to the partners capital ratio unless the
partnership contract specifically indicates otherwise.
a.
A partner's share of net income or net loss is recognized in the accounts through
closing entries.
b.
Closing entries for a partnership are identical to the entries made for a proprietorship,
except for the use of multiple capital and drawing accounts.
The various income ratios that may be used include:

a.
A fixed ratio, expressed as a proportion (6:4), a percentage (70% and 30%), or a

fraction (2/3 and 1/3).
b.
A ratio based either on capital balances at the beginning of the year or on average

c.
Salaries to partners and the remainder on a fixed ratio.
d.

differences among partners in terms of their capital investment and service to the partnership.
Provisions for salaries and interest must be applied before the remainder of net income
or net loss is allocated on the specified fixed ratio. Detailed information concerning the division
of net income or net loss should be shown at the bottom of the income statement.
4. Preparation of financial statements - the financial statements prepared for a partnership form of

Rules for Dividing Profit and Loss in a Partnership business

The computation of the result of business operation of a partnership is essentially the
same as that of the sole proprietorship. But the distribution to individual partners of this profit or
loss is the primary objective of the accounting process.
The income of the partnership is realized as the result of combining the contribution of
the partners in terms of capital investment, services rendered or time devoted in the management
of the business, and entrepreneurial ability or the partners personal business contacts and his
credit rating in the business community. And if profits or losses are to be divided fairly and
equitably these contributions by the partners must be properly considered. Therefore, the
following scheme may be adapted since the partnerships net income may be viewed as a return
for:
1. services rendered provide salaries to give recognition to the ability, experience or time
devoted by a partner to the business.
2. capital investment provide interest to give recognition to differences in the capital
contribution given in proportion to the period such capital was actually used.
3. entrepreneurial ability or managerial skills - provide bonus which is an incentive or
special compensation which is usually based on net income.
The partnership may come up with their profit and loss ratio in the distribution of profits
and losses of the firm. This is the ratio in which partnership profits and losses are divided and
must be stated in the Articles of Co-Partnership. In the absence of any agreement as to the
division of profits or losses, the Philippine Partnership Law provides that the share of each
partner in the profit or loss shall be in proportion to what he has contributed, i.e., in accordance
with the partners contributed capital, but the industrial partner shall receive such shares as what
is just and equitable under the circumstances. The law also provides that if the sharing of profits
has been agreed upon by the partners, but no provision was made as to the distribution of losses,
the share of each partner in the losses shall be divided in the same manner that profits are
divided.

2. Arbitrary Ratio
a. Fractions
b. Percentages
c. Ratio and Proportion
3. Based on Capital Ratio

Unit 4
PARTNERSHIP DISSOLUTION WITHOUT LIQUIDATION
A partnership depends upon the contractual agreement between or among partners;
therefore, the existence of the partnership business may be somewhat uncertain since it depends
on the personalities, moods, relationships of partners, etc. Any events or happenings that cause
the technical termination of a partnership may lead to a permanent dissolution or liquidation, if
the partners decide. Dissolution and liquidation in relation to partnerships are not synonymous.
A partnership is said to be dissolved when the original association for purposes of carrying on
activities has ended. A partnership is said to be liquidated when the business is terminated.
Dissolution
1. The change in the relation of the partners caused by any partner ceasing to be associated
in the carrying out of the business (Article 1825, Civil Code of the Philippines).
2. The termination of the life of an existing partnership.
Dissolution of an old partnership may be followed by:
1. the formation of a new partnership new partnership continues the business activities of
the dissolved partnership without interruption.
2. liquidation termination of business activities and winding up of partnership affairs
preparatory to going out of business.
Reasons why a partnership may be dissolved
1. Admission of a new partner
2. Retirement or withdrawal of a partner
3. Death, incapacity or insolvency of a partner
4. Incorporation of a partnership
Admission of a New Partner
1. The consent of all the partners is necessary.
2. There is a need to update the capital balances of the partners by
a. determining profit share of each partner from the last balance sheet date to
dissolution date.
b. revaluing/ adjusting partnership assets and liabilities using a temporary account
called the Capital Adjustment account.
a. Determine profit share of partners.

Admission of a new partner

An existing partnership may admit a new partner with the consent of all the partners. When a
new partner is admitted, the partnership is dissolved and a new partnership is formed. Upon the
admission of a new partner, a new agreement covering partners interest, profits and loss sharing and
other consideration should be drawn because the dissolution of the original partnership cancels the old
agreement.
Types of Admission of a New Partner
1. By purchase of interest from one or more of the old partners
a. It is considered as a personal transaction between the selling partner and the buyer
who becomes a new partner.
b. It merely involves a transfer of capital of the selling partner to the capital of the
buying partner.
c. There is no increase in total assets and no increase in total partners equity.

Note: When a new partner is admitted by purchase of an interest,
The transaction is a personal one between one or more existing partners and the new
partner.
Any money or other consideration exchanged is the property of the participants and not the
property of the partnership.
Each partner's capital account is debited for the ownership claims that have been
relinquished, and the new partner's capital account is credited with the capital equity
purchased.
Total assets, total liabilities, and total capital remain unchanged.
2. By investment or asset contributions to the partnership
A new partner may be admitted to the firm by investing directly to the partnership.
This method of admission of a new partner in the partnership implies the following:
a. It is a transaction between the partnership and the incoming partner.
b. It involves the investment of assets by new partner into the partnership.
c. Total assets and total partners equity will increase.

Note:
When a new partner is admitted by the investment of assets, both the total net assets and
the total capital of the partnership increase. This is done by debiting Cash/Non Cash assets
and crediting the new partner's capital account. When the capital credit does not equal the
investment of assets in the partnership, the difference is considered either a bonus or
goodwill either to the existing partners or the new partner.

Important terms used under admission by investment
1. Agreed capital (AC) new capitalization of the new partnership which may be equal to,
more than the total contributed capital.
2. Contributed capital (CC) the sum of the investments or contributions of the new and old
partners.
3. Fraction of interest this is the interest or equity of a partner expressed in fraction
4. Percentage of interest this is the interest or equity of a partner expressed in percentage.
Bonus
1. It is an amount partners are willing to allow as additional credit to a partners capital in
excess of his actual capital contribution.
2. It is a transfer of capital from one partner to another
A bonus to old partners results when the new partner's capital credit on the date of admittance
is less than the new partner's investment in the firm. The procedure for determining the
new partner's capital credit and the bonus to the old partners is as follows:
a.
Determine the total capital of the new partnership by adding the new partner's
investment to the total capital of the old partnership.
b.
Determine the new partner's capital credit by multiplying the total capital of the new
partnership by the new partner's ownership interest.
c.
Determine the amount of bonus by subtracting the new partner's capital credit from the
new partner's investment.
d.
Allocate the bonus to the old partners on the basis of their income ratios.
A bonus to a new partner results when the new partner's capital credit is greater than the
partner's investment of assets in the firm. The bonus results in a decrease in the capital
balances of the old partners based on their income ratios before admission of the new partner.

Withdrawal of a Partner
As in the case of the admission of a partner, the withdrawal of a partner legally dissolves
the partnership. The withdrawal of a partner may be accomplished by (a) payment from partners'
personal assets or (b) payment from partnership assets. The former affects only the partners'
capital accounts, whereas the latter decreases total net assets and total capital of the partnership.
The withdrawal of a partner when payment is made from partners' personal assets is the
direct opposite of admitting a new partner who purchases a partner's interest.
a. Payment from partners' personal assets is a personal transaction between the partners.
b. Partnership assets are not involved and total capital does not change.
c. The effect on the partnership is limited to a realignment of the partners' capital balances.
Using partnership assets to pay for a withdrawing partner's interest is the reverse of
admitting a partner through the investment of assets in the partnership.
a. Payment from partnership assets is a transaction that involves the partnership.
b. Both partnership net assets and total capitals are decreased.
c. There are instances where asset revaluations may be recorded.
When the partnership assets paid are in excess of the withdrawing partner's capital interest,
a bonus to the retiring partner results. The bonus is deducted from the remaining partners'
capital balances on the basis of their income ratios at the time of the withdrawal.
When the partnership assets paid are less than the withdrawing partner's capital interest, a
bonus to the remaining partners results. The bonus is allocated to the capital accounts of the
remaining partners on the basis of their income ratios.
In a withdrawal of a partner
1. There is a need to update the capital balances of the partners by
a. determining profit share of each partner from the last balance sheet date to
dissolution date.
b. revaluing/ adjusting partnership assets and liabilities using a temporary account
called the Capital Adjustment account.
Types of Withdrawal of a Partner
1. Purchase of interest by another partner or an outsider
a. It is considered a personal transaction between the buying and selling partners.
b. It involves the transfer of the withdrawing partners capital to the capital account
of the buying partner.
2. Purchase of interest by the partnership
a. It is considered a transaction between the partnership and the outgoing partner.
b. It involves a decrease in capital with the corresponding decrease in partnership
assets or increase in partnership liabilities.

Death of a Partner
The death of a partner dissolves the partnership, but provision generally is made for the
surviving partners to continue operations. When a partner dies it is necessary to determine the
partner's equity at the date of death.
Unit 5
PARTNERSHIP DISSOLUTION WITH LIQUIDATION
Liquidation of a partnership means winding up the business usually by selling the
assets, paying the liabilities, and distributing the remaining cash to partners. A business
which is in the process of converting its assets into cash and making settlement with
creditors is said to be in liquidation.
In this unit, emphasis will be placed on the accounting problems and procedures
involved in the winding up (liquidation) of the partnership affairs. When the business is
to be liquidated, the account must be adjusted and closed, and the resulting income or
loss in the final period is transferred to the capital accounts of the partners.
The basic objectives of a partnership during liquidation process are to convert the
partnership assets to cash, to pay off partnership obligations and to distribute cash and
any unrealized assets to the individual partners.
Dissolution with Liquidation
1. A partnership is liquidated when its business operations are completely terminated
or ended.
2. It may be caused by any of the following factors:
a. The purpose for which the partnership was organized has been
accomplished.
b. The term/period covered by the partnership contract has terminated.
c. The firm became bankrupt.
d. The partners mutually agree to close the business.
3. Partnership assets are sold.
4. Partnership creditors are paid.
5. Remaining assets are distributed to the partners as a return of their investments.
Definition of Terms
1. Dissolution the termination of the life of the partnership.
2. Liquidation the process of winding up a business which normally consists of
conversion of assets into cash, payment of liabilities and distribution of remaining
among the partners.
3. Realization the process of converting non-cash assets into cash.
4. Gain on realization the excess of the selling price over the carrying amount of
the non cash assets sold through realization.
5. Loss on realization the excess of the carrying amount over the selling price of
the non cash assets sold through realization.
6. Capital deficiency the excess of a partners share on losses over his capital
balance resulting to a debit balance in the capital account.
7. Deficient partner a partner with a debit balance in his capital account.
8. Right of offset the legal right to apply part or all of the amount owing to a
partner on a loan balance against a deficiency in his capital account resulting from
losses in the process of liquidation.
9. Partners interest the sum of a partners capital, loan balance and advances to
the partnership.
10. Solvent partner personal assets of the partner exceed his personal liabilities.
11. Insolvent partner personal assets of the partner are less than his personal
liabilities.
12. Statement of Liquidation an accounting statement summarizing the winding up
of the business affairs of the partnership.
Types of Liquidation
1. Lump-sum liquidation a liquidation method whereby all assets are converted
into cash, all liabilities are paid, and all profits or losses are charged to the
partners followed by a single liquidating distribution to the partners.
2. Installment method involves the selling of some assets, paying the liabilities of
the partnership, dividing the available cash to the partners, selling additional
assets and making further payments to partners. This process continues until all
the assets have been sold and all cash has been distributed to the creditors and to
the partners.
Procedures in Lump Sum Liquidation
1. Finish the accounting cycle.
a. Adjust the books.
b. Determine the net income/net loss and close the net income/net loss to
partners capital accounts.
c. Close all nominal accounts.
d. Close all drawing accounts to their respective capital accounts.
2. Sell non-cash assets and distribute gain or loss on realization among partners
using profit and loss ratio.
a. Any difference between the selling price and carrying amount of the sold
assets shall be recorded in an account called Gain or Loss on Realization.
b. The Gain or Loss on Realization account shall be closed to the partners
capital accounts using profit and loss ratio.
3. If partners capital balance results in a debit balance (deficient balance), the
following may happen:
a. If a partner has a loan balance exercise the right of offset (apply the loan
balance against the debit balance).
b. If there is no loan or if capital balance still results in a debit balance:
b.1 If partner is solvent and a general partner deficient partner makes
additional cash investment to remove his capital deficiency.
b.2 If partner is insolvent and general partner or if limited partner
deficient partner is unable to pay; the remaining solvent partners will
absorb the deficiency.
4. Cash is to be distributed in the following order of priority:
a. First, to outside partnership creditors.
b. Second, to partners for loan accounts.
c. Third, to partners for capital accounts.
Note: The final distribution of cash to partners is made based on the partners
capital balances and not based on the profit and loss ratio.
5. When cash is not sufficient to pay creditors, the solvent general partners shall
contribute the difference using their loss ratio.

Special Notes
1. Make sure that the balances before liquidation show equality of debits and credits.
This will always be true after each liquidation transaction.
2. Maintain two columns for the debits one for cash and one for non-cash assets.
3. Maintain separate columns for liabilities to outside creditors and liabilities to
partners.
4. Gain on realization increases capital while loss on realization decreases capital.
5. Figures in parentheses represent reduction in the account.
6. Double rule all columns when all columns are brought to zero balance.
Important notes to remember in lump sum partnership liquidation

1. The liquidation of a partnership terminates the business. In liquidation, it is necessary
to:
a. Sell non-cash assets for cash and recognize a gain or loss on realization.
b. Allocate gain/loss on realization to the partners based on their profit and loss
ratios.
c. Pay partnership liabilities in cash.
d. Distribute remaining cash to partners on the basis of their remaining capital
balances.
2. Each of the steps must be performed in sequence.
3. The liquidation of a partnership may result in no capital deficiency (all partners have
credit balances in their capital accounts) or in a capital deficiency (at least one
partner's capital account has a debit balance.)
4. When there is a capital deficiency, the partners with the deficiency may pay the
amount owed and the deficiency is eliminated.
5. If a partner with a capital deficiency is unable to pay the amount owed to the
partnership, the partners with credit balances must absorb the loss as follows:
a. The cash distributed to each partner is the difference between the partner's
present capital balance and the loss that the partner may have to absorb if the
capital deficiency is not paid.
b. The allocation of the deficiency is made on the profit and loss ratios that exist
between the partners with credit balances. The allocation is journalized and
posted.
Partnership Liquidation By Installment

Frequently partnership assets are not realized through an instantaneous sale but
may extend over several months. When this happens, the partners may prefer to receive
the amounts due to them in a series of installments rather than wait until all assets have
been converted to cash. Installment payments to partners are proper provided that
measures are taken to insure that all creditors are paid in full and that there is no over
distribution to one or more of the partners.
Nature of Installment Liquidation

1. Non-cash assets are sold on a piecemeal basis over an extended period of time.
2. Cash realized is immediately distributed to partners after fully satisfying
creditors claims or after setting aside sufficient cash for these liabilities.
3. Cash distribution to partners is considered as if it were the last because total gain
or loss on realization is not yet determined.
4. Remaining unsold assets must be treated as a complete loss.
5. Debit balances in capital and potential capital deficiencies are assumed
uncollectible.
6. Partners interests are reduced by cash distributions to a balance proportionate to
the partners profit and loss ratios.
7. Succeeding cash distributions are then based on the profit and loss ratio.
Procedures for Liquidation by Installment

The following are the accounting procedures that may be followed in
liquidating a partnership by installments:
1. Record the realization of assets and distribute the realized gains or losses among
the partners using profit and loss ratio.
2. Pay liquidation expenses and unrecorded liabilities, if there are any, and distribute
these among the partners using the profit and loss ratio.
3. Pay the liabilities to outsiders.
4. Distribute cash to partners after possible future losses have been apportioned to
partners or in accordance with an advance distribution plan.
Restricted interest, in the accompanying schedule to determine amounts to

be paid to partners, shall consist of:
a. remaining unsold assets;
b. cash withheld for possible expenses;

c. debit balances in capital.
Computation of Safe payments to Partners

In installment liquidation, cash distributions to partners are authorized even
before all the losses that may be incurred and charged against the partners are known.
Considerable care is therefore, required to insure an equitable distribution of cash to
partners.
The Statement of Partnership Liquidation is usually supported by a schedule of
safe installment payments to partners, simply called Schedule of Safe Payments,
prepared periodically. According to the schedule, each installment of cash is distributed
as if no more cash is forthcoming, either from sale of assets or from collection of
deficiencies from partners. Cash is, is therefore, distributed to a partner only if he has an
excess credit balances in his partnership interest (i.e., capital account or capital and loan
accounts combined)after absorption of his share of the maximum possible loss that may
occur. The possible loss consists of the following:
1. Total value of remaining non-cash assets. These assets are assumed unrealized,
i.e., they can not be sold, hence, they are considered loss chargeable to the
partners.
2. Cash withheld to pay for anticipated liquidation expenses and unrecorded
liabilities that may arise. The said expenses and liabilities represent possible loss
to the partners because upon payment, the amount paid is to be correspondingly
absorbed by the partners.
Additional loss may also accrue to the partners when a debit balance in any of the
capital account results from the foregoing allocation of possible loss. The
deficiency of any of the partners is absorbed by the other partners as additional
possible loss to them because he is presumed unable to pay anything to the firm.
Payment to partners based on periodic computation of safe payments bring, at

some point of the liquidation, the partners capital to the profit and loss ratio. The
absence of any partners deficiency after distribution of the possible loss signifies that the
ratio of the capital balances are in the profit and loss ratio. Preparation of schedules of
safe payments in subsequent periods are no longer necessary because all subsequent
payments can be made based solely on the profit and loss ratio. Each partners capital is
adequate to absorb his share of the maximum remaining possible loss.
Introduction to Corporation Accounting

CORPORATION - an artificial being created by operation of law, having the right of
succession and the powers, attributes and properties expressly authorized by law or
incident to its existence (New Corporation Code of the Philippines). A corporation is an
entity created by law that is separate and distinct from its owners and its continued
existence is dependent upon the corporate statutes of the state in which it is incorporated.
Characteristics of a Corporation
The characteristics that distinguish a corporation from proprietorships and partnerships
are:
1. Separate legal entity A corporation is an artificial being with a personality
separate from that of its individual owners (i.e., the corporation has separate legal
existence from its owners).
2. Created by operation of law A corporation is generally created by operation of
law. The mere agreement of the parties cannot give rise to a corporation.
3. Right of succession A corporation continues to exist notwithstanding the
withdrawal, death, insolvency or incapacity of the individual owners. Changes in
the ownership structure do not dissolve a corporation this means that the
corporation can have a continuous life.
4. Powers, attributes, properties expressly authorized by law Being a creation of
law, a corporation can only exercise powers provided by law and powers which
are incidental to its existence.
5. Ownership divided into shares Proprietorship in a corporation is divided into
units known as shares of stocks. Ownership is shown in shares of share capital,
which are transferable units.
6. Board of Directors (BOD) Management of the business is vested in a board of
directors elected by the stockholders. The BOD is the governing body or decisionmaking body of the corporation.
7. The stockholders have limited liability.
8. It is relatively easy for a corporation to obtain capital through the issuance of
stock.
9. The corporation is subject to numerous government regulations.
10. The corporation must pay an income tax on its earnings, and the stockholders are
required to pay taxes on the dividends they receive: the result is double taxation.
Distinction between Partnerships and Corporations

Partnership
1. Formed by at least two persons.
Corporation
Initially formed by at least five persons.
2. Starts with agreement among partners; may

be formed orally.
Starts with the issuance of a certificate of

incorporation issued by SEC
3. Unlimited liability
Limited liability
4. Limited life
Unlimited life
5. Transfer of equity of a partner needs the

consent of all the partners.
Stocks can be transferred from one

stockholder to another without getting the
consent of the other stockholders.
6. Partner is an agent of the partnership.
Stockholders do not act as agents of the

corporation.
Classes of Corporation
A. According to Purpose
1. Public a corporation formed to render government service
2. Private a corporation formed for a private purpose, aim or benefit.
3. Quasi-public a private corporation which is given a franchise to perform
functions of a public character.
B. According to Law of Creation
1. Domestic a corporation that is organized under Philippine laws.
2. Foreign -- a corporation that is organized under the laws of other countries.
C. According to Membership Holdings
1. Stock a corporation in which the capital is divided into shares of stock and is
authorized to distribute dividends to the holders of such shares. A stock
certificate is a physical evidence of the shares of stock. Stock corporations are
generally profit-oriented.
2. Non-stock - a corporation in which capital comes from fees or contributions
given by individuals. No part of its income is distributed as dividends and any
profit shall be used to further the purpose(s) of the corporation. Non-stock
corporations are generally non-profit in nature.
D. According to the Extent of Membership
1. Open a corporation whose ownership is widely held by many investors.
2. Closely held or family a corporation in which 50% or more of its stock is
owned by five persons or less.
Components of a Corporation
1. Incorporators persons who originally formed the corporation and whose names
appear in the Articles of Incorporation. They must be 5 but not more than 15
natural persons. They should not artificial persons.
2. Stockholders or shareholders owners of a stock corporation.
3. Members persons who gave fees or contributions to a non-stock corporation.
4. Corporators persons who compose the corporation whether as stockholders or
members.
5. Promoters persons who undertake the necessary steps and procedures to
organize the corporation.
6. Subscribers persons who agreed to buy shares of stock but will pay at a later
date.
7. Underwriters persons who undertake to sell the shares of stocks to the general
public.
Advantages of a Corporate Form of Business
1. Unlimited life. The corporations power of succession enables it to enjoy a
continuous existence.
2. The continuity of corporate existence enables it to obtain a strong credit line.
3. Bigger source of capital may be raised because many individuals invest funds in
the corporation.
4. Stockholders enjoy limited liability. Liability of stockholders is limited to the
extent of their investment in the corporation.
5. Ease of ownership transferability - shares of stocks may be transferred without the
consent of the other stockholders.
6. The corporation has the capacity to act as a legal entity.
7. Centralized management under the Board of Directors.
Disadvantages of a Corporate Form of Business
1. Difficulty in formation. It is not easy to form because of complicated legal
requirements and high costs in its organization.
2. The limited liability of the stockholders weakens or limits its credit capacity.
3. It is subject to more governmental control.
4. There is possibility of abuse of power by the Board of Directors because
centralized management restricts active participation by stockholders in the
conduct of corporate affairs.
5. Corporations activities are limited by the articles of incorporation.
6. It is subject to more taxes.
Legal Requirements in Organizing a Corporation

The process of organizing a corporation consists of three stages:
1. Promotion makes preliminary arrangements and solicits subscription to raise
sufficient capital for the business. The following are the pre-incorporation
requirements:
a. At least 25% of the authorized share capital as stated in the articles of
incorporation must be subscribed.
b. At least 25% of total subscriptions must be paid upon subscription.
2. Incorporation formalizes organization of the corporation by filing with SEC the
necessary documentary requirements such as articles of incorporation and
treasurers affidavit attesting compliance to the pre-incorporation requirements.
Upon approval, SEC issues a certificate of incorporation, the date of which is
considered as the date of registration or incorporation.
3. Commencement of the business the business should start its business within two
years from the date of incorporation.
Costs incurred in connection with the formation of the corporation are recorded as
an expense. Examples of organization costs are filing fees, cost of printing stock
certificates, promoters commission and legal fees. Any one of the following account
titles may be used in recording organization costs:
1. Pre-operating Costs
2. Organization Expense
3. Organization Costs

Unit 7
ACCOUNTING FOR CORPORATION FORMATION
Accounting for Share Capital/Transactions
Forming a Corporation
The formation of a corporation involves (a) filing an application with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), (b) paying an incorporation fee, (c)
receiving a charter (articles of incorporation), and (d) developing by-laws.
a. Costs incurred in forming a corporation are called organization costs.
b. These costs include fees to underwriters, legal fees, state incorporation fees,
and promotional expenditures.
c. Organization costs are expensed as incurred.
Ownership Rights of Stockholders
When chartered, the corporation may begin selling ownership rights in the form
of shares of stock. Each share of ordinary share gives the stockholder the following
ownership rights:
a. To vote for the board of directors and in corporate actions that require
stockholder approval.
b. To share in corporate earnings through the receipt of dividends.
c. To maintain the same percentage ownership when additional shares of ordinary
share are issued (preemptive right).
d. To share in assets upon liquidation (residual claim).
Stock Issue Considerations
Authorized stock/share is the amount of stock/share a corporation is allowed to sell as
indicated by its charter.
a. The authorization of share capital does not result in a formal accounting entry.
b. The difference between the shares of stock authorized and the shares issued is
the number of unissued shares that can be issued without amending the charter.
A corporation has the choice of issuing ordinary share directly to investors or
indirectly through an investment-banking firm (brokerage house). Direct issue is typical
in closely held companies, whereas indirect issue is customary for a publicly held
corporation.
Par value share/stock is share capital that has been assigned a value per share in
the corporate charter. It represents the legal capital per share that must be retained in the
business for the protection of corporate creditors.
No-par share/stock is share capital that has not been assigned a value in the
corporate charter. In many states the board of directors can assign a stated value to the
shares, which becomes the legal capital per share. When there is no assigned stated
value, the entire proceeds are considered to be legal capital.
The primary objectives in accounting for the issuance of ordinary share are to (a)
identify the specific sources of paid-in capital and (b) maintain the distinction between
paid-in capital and retained earnings.
When par value ordinary share is issued for cash, the par value of the shares is
credited to Ordinary share and the portion of the proceeds that is above or below par
value is recorded in a separate paid-in capital account.
When no-par ordinary share has a stated value, the stated value is credited to
Ordinary share. When the selling price exceeds the stated value, the excess is credited to
Paid-in Capital in Excess of Stated Value. When no-par stock does not have a stated
value, the entire proceeds are credited to Ordinary share.
Basic Share capital Transactions
There are 5 basic share capital transactions:
1. Authorization records the maximum number of shares a corporation is
authorized to issue.
2. Sale of stocks a stockholder buys stocks and pays immediately in full. Stock
certificate is issued to the stockholder.
3. Subscription a subscriber enters into a contract to buy shares of stock.
4. Collection a subscriber pays his subscription either partially or in full.
5. Issuance of certificate if a subscription is fully paid; a stock certificate is issued
to the subscriber.
Share capital
Share capital may be paid by the stockholder or subscriber in the form of
1. money/cash
2. property record the value of the property using the following amounts:
a. fair value of the property received
b. fair value of the shares of stock, whichever is clearly determinable;
c. par value of the shares of stock
3. labor or services record the cost of the labor or services using the fair value of
the services rendered.
Important:
When shares of stock are issued for services or non-cash assets, cost
is either the fair market value of the consideration given up or the
consideration received, whichever is more clearly determinable (Weygant, et
al, 2006).
Share capital may be issued
1. at par
2. at a premium at an amount more than the par value. The amount in excess of
par value is treated as share premium.
Share capital cannot be issued at a discount or an amount less than par under the
Philippine setting.
When the value assigned to the asset received is greater than the par value times the
number of shares issued, such issuance is called watered stock. The overstatement is
done to comply with the requirement of the law that the stock should not be issued at less
than its par value. When the value of the asset received is understated, the stock is said to
contain secret reserves.

Special Notes:
1. The Subscription Receivable account title is always recorded at subscription prices
computed as follows:
Subscriptions receivable = subscribed shares x subscription price
2. Subscribed Share capital and Share capital accounts are always recorded/credited
at par value.
3. Share Premium/Paid in Capital in Excess of Par is recorded/credited at amount in
excess of par computed as follows:
Paid in capital in excess of par = (Subscription price par value) (subscribed shares)
Accounting for Two Classes of Stock

The two classes of stock are ordinary share and preference share. Ordinary share entitles
the holder to the four basic rights of a stockholder. Preference share is generally issued
with par value and with a dividend rate. Voting right is frequently given exclusively to

classes of stock are the same. However, the account titles must be labeled as to whether
it is common or preferred. The following account titles may be used.

Accounting for No Par Shares

No par shares do not have a definite or fixed value.
1. No par shares are recorded using the memo entry method only.
2. The entire consideration received by the corporation for its no par value shares
shall be treated as capital and shall not be liable for distribution as dividends.
3. Preferred shares which are preferred as to assets can be issued only with par
value.
4. Banks, trust companies, public utilities, buildings and loan associations, insurance
companies cannot issue no-par stocks.
5. No par value shares may not be issued at an amount less than P5 per share.
6. While no par value shares do not carry a nominal value in the certificate, a selling
price may be assigned. This value is called stated value. Stated value should not
be less than P5 per share.

Accounting for Delinquent Subscription

There are instances when a subscriber cannot pay in full the amount he subscribed
to. Payment of the balance on subscription may either be specified in the contract of
subscription or in lieu thereof may be subject to call by the Board of Directors.
According to the Corporation Code of the Philippines, if
within thirty (30) days from the said date, no payment is
made; all stocks covered by said subscription shall thereupon
become delinquent and shall be subject to sale.
When a subscriber fails to pay his subscription on the call date, the corporation sends
several notices to remind him of his obligation. If no payment was made by the
subscriber, his subscription is declared as delinquent subscriptions and the subscriber is
called a defaulting subscriber. And these delinquent stocks are offered for sale in a
public auction.
1. The sale of the delinquent stocks is advertised to have possible buyers/bidders.
All expenses incurred relating to the sale of the delinquent shares will be charged
or debited to Receivable from Highest Bidder account since this amount will
eventually be collected to the highest bidder together with the unpaid balance of
the subscription.
2. An auction sale is conducted where a highest bidder is chosen.
3. The sale of the delinquent subscription is issued to the highest bidder.
4. The highest bidder is the one who is willing to pay the unpaid balance of the
subscription plus accrued interest plus all expenses related to the sale and who is
willing to receive the least/smallest number of shares.
5. Once the subscription is fully paid, all subscribed shares are issued. Shares are
first given to the highest bidder. The excess shares are given to the defaulting
subscriber.
6. If there is no bidder, all of the delinquent shares will be issued in the name of the
corporation. Such shares are considered treasury shares. The defaulting
subscriber does not get any share of stock.

Assume that Joseph subscribed 250 shares of Ordinary share at P25.00 (P20.00 is
the par value). After paying 50% on his subscriptions, he defaulted. Due process was
taken and the shares were declared delinquent. Advertising and other cost including
those advances made by the corporation amounted to P500.00
At the public auction, bids from Mary, Clare and Luisa were received. Mary bid
230 shares; Clare for 240; and Luisa for 245 shares. The highest bidder paid the
amount due and stock certificate was issued by the corporation.
REQUIRED: Record the above transactions.

Unit 8
Accounting for Changes in Shareholders Equity
Corporate Capital
Owner's equity in a corporation is identified as stockholders' equity, shareholders'
equity, or corporate capital. The stockholders' equity section of a corporation's balance
sheet consists of: (a) paid-in (contributed) capital, and (b) retained earnings (earned capital).
Paid-in or contributed capital is the investment of cash and other assets in the
corporation by stockholders in exchange for capital stock.
Retained earnings account is net income retained in a corporation and is part of the
stockholders claim on the total assets of the corporation. The entire amount of retained
earnings may be presumed to be unrestricted as to dividend declaration unless restrictions are
indicated in the financial statements.
a. Net income is recorded in Retained Earnings by a closing entry with a debit to
Income Summary and a credit to Retained Earnings.
Pro-forma entry:

deduction in the stockholders equity section.
Retained Earnings Restrictions

1.
Retained earnings restrictions make a portion of the retained earnings balance

currently unavailable for dividends.
2.
Restrictions result from one or more of the following causes:

a.
Legal restrictions. Many states require a corporation to restrict retained

earnings for the cost of treasury stock purchased.

ACCOUNTING FOR TREASURY SHARES

Treasury stock/shares is an entitys own stock that has been issued and then reacquired but
not canceled. The corporation may reissue these treasury shares at some future date.
From this definition, three requisites must be present in order that a stock should
qualify as treasury stock.
1. The stock must be the entitys own stock.
2. The stock must have been issued originally.
3. The stock is reacquired but not canceled.
(Valix and Peralta, 2006)
Reasons for Acquiring Treasury Stock

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
To obtain stock to be used in the acquisition of plant assets.

To improve earnings per share by reducing the number of shares outstanding.
To invest excess cash temporarily.
To support the market price of the stock.
To increase the ratio of liabilities to stockholders equity.
To obtain shares for conversion of other securities such as preferred stock.
(Baysa and Lupisan, 2007)

2. Reacquisition by donation Donated stock refers to shares of stock received by the

entity from its stockholders by way of donation. These stocks are actually treasury
stock and may therefore be reissued at any price without any discount liability.
Donated stock is secured without cost and consequently, it does not affect the
entitys assets, liabilities and stockholders equity, although it reduces outstanding
shares. However, the reissue or resale of donated stock increases assets and
additional paid in capital. Contributions, including stock of the corporation, received
from shareholders shall be recorded at the fair value of the items received with the
credit going to Additional Paid in Capital Donated Stocks account.

Important Notes
1. Treasury shares do not have the status of outstanding shares, therefore, these shares
are not entitled for dividends.
2. Treasury shares do not entitle the holder to the rights of a stockholder.
3. Treasury stock is not viewed as an asset (i.e., Investments in Trading Securities) but
as a reduction to total stockholders equity.
4. To protect creditors, a portion of retained earnings shall be restricted equal to the cost
of the treasury stock.
Unit 9
Accounting for Accumulated Profits/Losses
Dividends
A dividend is a distribution by a corporation to its stockholders on a pro rata
(proportional) basis. Dividends may be in the form of cash, property, scrip, or stock.
The power to declare dividends is vested upon the board of directors. Dividends shall
be paid out of unrestricted or free retained earnings.
The following shares are entitled to receive dividends:
a. all issued and outstanding shares
b. all subscribed par value shares
The following shares are not entitles to receive dividends:
a. unissued shares
b. subscribed no par shares
c. treasury stock
Two Kinds of Dividends

1. Dividends out of earnings distribution to stockholders of corporate earnings in
proportion to the number of shares held by them; also known as return on investment.
2. Dividends out of capital (liquidating dividends) a return of stockholders invested
capital; also known as return of investment.
Forms of dividends
A cash dividend is a pro rata distribution of cash to stockholders. For a
corporation to pay a cash dividend, it must have (a) retained earnings, (b) adequate
cash, and (c) declared dividends.
A scrip dividend is a deferred cash dividend. This is consisting of a written
promise to pay certain amounts at some future date. A scrip dividend is declared when
the corporation has sufficient retained earnings balance but not sufficient funds at the
time for a cash dividend. The payment normally includes the principal amount and an
interest at a specified rate.
A property dividend is a dividend distributable in the form of non cash assets.
This type of dividend reduces retained earnings by the cost or carrying value of the
property on the date of declaration. Property distributed normally takes the form of
assets that can be easily divided or allocated among stockholders, for example, the
stocks of other corporation owned by the company (Lupisan and Baysa, 2007).
A stock dividend is a distribution of dividends in the form of corporations own
stock.
Three dates are important in connection with dividends:

a.
Declaration datethe date on which the board of directors formally

declares a cash dividend and the liability is recorded.
b.
Record datethe date that marks the time when ownership of outstanding
shares is determined from the stockholders' records maintained by the
corporation.
c.
Payment datethe date dividend checks are mailed to the stockholders and
the payment of the dividend is recorded.
Preference stockholders must be paid dividends before common stockholders

receive dividends.
a.
When preferred stock is cumulative, any dividends in arrears must be paid

to preferred stockholders before allocating any dividends to common
stockholders.
b.
When preferred stock is not cumulative, only the current year's dividend
must be paid to preferred stockholders before paying any dividends to
common stockholders.
Stock Dividend
1.
A stock dividend is a pro rata distribution to stockholders of the

corporations own stock. The corporation declares stock dividends when it
wishes to declare dividends but at the same time retain the net assets of the
business.
2.
For a corporation to declare stock dividends there should be unrestricted

retained earnings and available original and unissued shares which may be
issued as stock dividends
3.
A stock dividend results in a decrease in retained earnings and an increase in paidin capital. Unlike a cash dividend, a stock dividend does not decrease total
stockholders equity or total assets. It only involves transfer of amount from
retained earnings to contributed capital.
4.
For small stock dividends (less than 20%) the accounting profession recommends
that the board of directors assign the fair market value per share. Par or stated
value per share is normally assigned for large stock dividends (greater than 20%).
5.
Stock dividends have no effect on the par or stated value per share, but the
number of shares outstanding increases, and the book value per share
decreases.
Two Kinds of Stock Dividends

1. Small stock dividends a stock dividend representing less than 20% of the outstanding
shares. The account Retained earnings is debited for the fair market value of the stock
on the date of declaration. When the fair market value of the stock is used, the following
entry is made at the declaration date:
Date of Declaration: Pro-forma Entry
Retained Earnings ........................................................................ xxx
Stock Dividends Distributable ..................................................
xxx
Share premium Stock dividend ............................................
xxx
Stock Dividends Distributable is reported in paid-in capital as an addition to

either common or preferred stock issued. This account is credited for the par or stated
value of the shares to be distributed regardless of whether the stock dividend is small or
large. This account is not a current liability because it will not be settled through the
use of current assets and is shown as an addition to capital stock outstanding.
Share premium-Stock dividend account is credited for the excess of the fair
market value over its par or stated value.
Date of Distribution: Pro-forma entry

2. Large stock dividends a stock dividend representing 20% or more of the outstanding
shares. The account Retained earnings is debited for the par or stated value of the stock.

Stock dividends change the composition of stockholders' equity because a

portion of retained earnings is transferred to paid-in capital. However, total
stockholders' equity and the par or stated value per share remains the same.
Cash Dividends
1.
A cash dividend is a pro rata distribution of cash to stockholders.
2.
For a corporation to pay a cash dividend, it must have:

a. Retained earnings.
b. Adequate cash.
c. A declaration of dividends.
3.
Three dates are important in connection with dividends:

a.
The declaration date: the date the board of directors formally declares
(authorizes) the cash dividend and announces it to stockholders. An entry is
required to recognize the decrease in retained earnings, and the increase in
the liability dividends payable.
Retained Earnings ..................................................... xxx
Dividends Payable...............................................
b.

The record date: the date when ownership of the outstanding shares is
determined for dividend purposes. The records maintained by the
corporation supply this information.
Date of Record: No Entry
c.
The payment date: the date the dividend checks are mailed to the
stockholders and the payment of the dividend is recorded.
Date of Payment: Pro-forma entry
Dividends Payable................................................ xxx

4.
Preferred stock has priority over common stock in regard to dividends. Preferred
stockholders must be paid any unpaid prior-year dividends before common
stockholders receive dividends if the preferred stock is cumulative.
Shareholders' Equity Statement

Instead of presenting a detailed stockholders' equity section in the balance sheet
and a retained earnings statement, many companies prepare a shareholders' equity
statement.
Corporation Income Statement

1.
Income statements for corporations are the same as the statements for
proprietorships or partnerships except for the reporting of income taxes. Income
tax expense is reported in a separate section of the corporation income statement
before net income.
2.
A corporation is considered a separate legal entity for income tax purposes.

Income tax expense and the related liability for income taxes payable are recorded
as part of the adjusting process.
Unit 9 - Special Topics

Book Value per Share
(Reference: Financial Accounting by Peralta and Valix)
BOOK VALUE PER SHARE (BVPS)

It is the amount that would be paid on each share assuming the company
is liquidated and the amount available to shareholders is exactly the amount
reported as shareholders equity.
FORMULAS IN COMPUTING BVPS
1. One class of stock

Number of shares outstanding
2. Two classes of stock
BVPS

Ordinary Shareholders Equity

Number of ordinary shares outstanding
Book value per share represents the equity an ordinary stockholder has in the
net assets of the corporation from owning one share of stock. Book value per
share is not synonymous with the value of the stock in liquidation and does not
generally equal market value per share.
Apportionment of Total Shareholders Equity into Its

Preference and Ordinary Components
1. An amount equal to the par or stated value is allocated to the preference
share and ordinary share
2. Any balance of the shareholders equity in excess of par is apportioned
taking into account the liquidation value and dividend rights of the preference
shareholders.
3. For book value purposes, following are assumed to be available for
dividends:
Accumulated Profit
Share Premium
Revaluation Reserve
4. Where there are treasury share and subscribed share capital, the share
capital outstanding is computed as follows:
Share capital issued

Add: Share capital subscribed
Sub-total
Less: Treasury share at par
Amount and shares outstanding
Shares
xx
xx
xx
xx
xx
Amount
P xx
xx
P xx

5. Treasury share shall be treated as a retired share. Any gain on retirement is

added to Share Premium, and loss on retirement is charged first to Share
Premium and then to Accumulated Profit.
Important things to Remember about BVPS

1. Liquidation value amount to be received upon the liquidation of the
corporation. It can be more than the par value.
2. In the absence of liquidation values, the preference shareholders shall
receive and amount equal to the par or stated value.
3. If there is a deficit, the preference shareholders would share on a pro-rata
basis with ordinary shareholders.
4. The preference share call price or redemption price is ignored for book
value computation.
5. Preference to assets preference shareholders are entitled to payment not

only for the liquidation value but also for dividends in arrears.
6. Preference as to dividends
Non-cumulative
Cumulative
Non-participating
Participating
7. In the absence of any statement to the contrary, the preference share is
preference as to dividends.
8. In the absence of specific designation, preference share is assumed to be
non-cumulative and non-participating.
9. Dividends in arrears include current dividends.
10. If there are two classes of preference share with different dividend rates a. if both are participating, the lower rate is the basis for ordinary share
allocation
b. if only one is participating, the basis for ordinary share allocation is the
rate of the participating preference share.
11. In computing for share outstanding, the Subscriptions Receivable balance
is NOT deducted from Subscribed Share Capital.
Earnings per Share

Reference: Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS 33)
The earnings per share figure is the amount attributable to every share of
ordinary share outstanding during the period.
The objective of the basic earning earnings per share information is to provide a
measure of the interest of each ordinary share of a parent entity in the
performance of the entity over the reporting period.
It is not necessary to compute EPS for preference shares because there is a
definite rate of return for such share.
Earnings per share (EPS) indicates the net income earned by each share of
outstanding ordinary stock.
a. The formula for computing earnings per share is:
Net income
b.
c.
d.
Weighted
Average
Ordinary Shares
Outstanding
Earnings
per Share
Most companies are required to report earnings per share on the

income statement.
When the income statement contains any of the sections for material nontypical items, earnings per share should be disclosed for each
component.
When there has been a change in the number of shares outstanding
during the year, the denominator in the formula becomes the weighted
average shares outstanding.
When a corporation has both preference and ordinary stocks outstanding,

dividends declared on preference stock are subtracted from net income in
determining earnings per share. If the preference stock is cumulative, the
dividend for the current year is deducted whether or not it is declared.
Two presentations of earnings per share:

1. Basic earnings per share
2. Diluted earnings per share
Enterprises required disclosing earnings per share:

1. The presentation of earnings per share is required for enterprises whose
ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares are publicly traded and
2. By enterprises that are in the process of issuing ordinary shares or
potential ordinary shares in the public securities market.
Note: Nonpublic enterprises are not required to present earnings per
share but are encouraged to do so in their financial statements.
Uses of earning per share:

a. It is a determinant of the market price of ordinary share.
b. It is a measure of performance.
c. It is the basis of dividend policies of the company.
Simple Capital Structure VS. Complex Capital Structure
1. Simple Capital Structure means that the corporation has only ordinary and
nonconvertible preference share.
2. Complex Capital Structure means that the corporation has one or more
instruments outstanding that could result in issuance of additional ordinary
shares.
BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE

1. Basic EPS considers only ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
2. The Basic Equation:

Net Income
Ordinary Shares Outstanding
or
Net Income Dividend on Preference Share
Weighted Average Ordinary Shares Outstanding
Notes:
The net income is equal to the amount after deducting dividends on

preference stock.
If the preference share is cumulative, the preference dividend for the

current year only is deducted from the net income, whether such dividend
is declared or not.
If the preference share is non-cumulative, the preference dividend for the

current year is deducted from the net income only if there is a declaration.
Stock dividend is recognized retroactively, meaning, it is treated as a

change from the date, the original shares are issued.
