Number of shares issued x Market value per share = Value of equipment
10,000 $ 15 150,000
Common stock is the number of shares issued x par (or stated) value per share

For doing the journal entries, keep in mind that there are no gains or losses on Treasury Stock.
This is because Treasury Stock is not an asset. It’s a stockholders' equity account.
1-Mar 4,000 shares bought back x $10 per share market value = 40,000
1-Jun Cash received of $12,000 = number of shares sold 1,000 x market value per share $12
Treasury stock comes on and off the books at the orginal purchase price of $10
1,000 shares sold x original purchase price per share $10 = 10,000
The balance is credited to the paid in capital -treasury stock account.
1-Sep Cash received of $16,000 = number of shares sold 2,000 x market value per share $8
Treasury stock comes on and off the books at the orginal purchase price of $10.
2,000 shares sold x original purchase price per share $10 = 20,000
Paid in capital-treasury stock can only be debited for 2,000 since that is all that account has in it.
The remaining 2,000 gets debited to retained earnings.
Debit is to Cash dividends. That account gets closed to the retained earnings account.
Number of shares outstanding 25,500 x .50 per share cash dividend = 12,750
Debit is to Stock dividends. That account gets closed to the retained earnings account.
To get the amount of the stock dividend, you first have to figure out the number of shares
that will be issued for the stock dividend.
Number of shares outstanding 10,000 x .10 stock dividend = 1,000 more shares to be issued.
The value of the stock dividend is the additional shares issued x the market price per share
1,000 $ 15 15,000
The amount of the CSDD will be the number of shares issued x par (or stated) value per share
1,000 $ 1 $ 1,000
If a company has both common and preferred stock, the preferred stockholders are entitled
to get their dividends before the common stockholders receive their dividend in a given year.
If the preferred stock is cumulative, then any dividends in arrears (past dividends not paid)
must be paid before the common stockholders get their diviends.
3,000 shares of preferred stock x $100 par value = $300,000 preferred stock
300,000 shares x .03 dividend = 9,000 per year dividend on the preferred stock
Preferred stockholders are entitled to receive dividends in arrears for 2018 amd 2019 plus the
current dividend for 2020. 3 years x 9,000 annual dividend = 27,000 owed to preferred stockholders.
For this one, you need to have the outline of the stockholders' equity section in your head.
Under capital stock, preferred stock is reported first, then common stock.
You have to tell the whole story about each class of stock: how many shares were
authorized, how many issued and how many outstanding.
For preferred stock report the dividend rate, whether its cumulative and any other info needed.
