THE END…………….of the quiz


3-Jan Cash received is the number of shares issued x market value per share
150,000 $ 15 $ 2,250,000

Common stock is the number of shares issued x par (or stated) value per share
150,000 $ 5 $ 750,000

Paid in capital in excess of par (or stated) value = cash received - amount attributed to common stock
$ 2,250,000 $ (750,000) $ 1,500,000

10-Feb Equipment can never be valued at the "advertised price", "asking price" or "list price".
The market value of actively traded stock is an acceptable measure of value so we use that
to value the equipment.
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
10,000 $ 5 $ 50,000

Paid in capital in excess of par (or stated) value = cash received - amount attributed to common stock
150,000 $ (50,000) $ 100,000
Cash 30,000 $ 50 $ 1,500,000
Preferred stock 30,000 $ 30 $ 900,000
Additional Paid in capital…. 30,000 $ 20 $ 600,000

Equipment 10,000 $ 50 $ 500,000


Preferred stock 10,000 $ 30 $ 300,000
Additional Paid in capital…. 10,000 $ 20 $ 200,000

Cannot use the advertised price to value assets


The company could advertise it at any ridiculous price!
This first journal entry is just a regular "issue the stock" journal entry.
The company has to issue stock before it can buy it back as Treasury Stock.

These next 3 journal entries involve treasury stock.

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.

The account Paid in Capital - Treasury Stock cannot go below zero.

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

Paid in capital in excess of par 15,000 $ (1,000) 14,000


In this entry, the stock is distributed.
Notcie that there is no cash involved in a stock dividend!

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.

The stock is reported first.


Preferred stock comes first, then common stock.
The amounts for preferred and common stock are given in this problem.
Preferred stock $100 par x 12,000 shares outstanding = 1,200,000
Common stock $10 par x 300,000 shares outstanding = 3,000,000

Additional paid in capital has to be computed


Preferred was issued at $110 per share
12,000 shares x $110 per share = 1,320,000 cash received from issuing preferred stock

Cash proceeds of 1,320,000 - amount attributed to preferred stock 1,200,000 = 120,000


additional paid in capital on preferred stock.

Common stock was issued at $16 per share.


300,000 shares issued x $16 = 4,800,000 cash proceeds from common stock.

Cash proceeds of 4,800,000 - amount attributed to common stock 3,000,000 = 1,800,000


additional paid in capital on common stock.
Capital stock reported separately from additional paid in capital.

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.

Additional paid in capital


Preferred is reported before common
Must specify whether it is in excess of par or in excess of stated value
