67) From an investor's perspective, what is the main difference between a stock split and a stock
dividend?
Answer: Both a stock split and a stock dividend increase the number of common shares held by
the investor with no accompanying change in the cost of the shares owned. Where stock splits
and stock dividends differ is in the way they are treated for tax purposes. A stock split does not
create taxable income to the investor, but a stock dividend does because stock dividends are
treated in the same way as cash dividends. For this reason, stock dividends are less popular than
stock splits as investors must pay income tax on the stock dividend even though no cash has been
received.

68) List the three key dates for a stock dividend and explain the purpose of each date.
Answer: The three dates are: declaration date, date of record and distribution date. The
declaration date is when the stock dividend is publically announced by the corporation. It does
not create a liability, rather the intention is recorded in an equity account called: Common stock
dividend distributable. The date of record is administrative in nature as it is used to identify
which shareholders will receive the shares. The distribution date is when the shares resulting
from the stock dividend are given to the shareholders identified on the date of record.

Answer:
Similarities: 1) Increase number of shares (owned, issued and outstanding), 2) Investor's cost
remains the same
Differences: 1) stock dividend is a distribution of retained earnings and thus requires a journal
entry to record the allocation of retained earnings to common shares, 2) stock splits receive more
favourable tax treatment for investors, and therefore are more popular

70) Describe the similarities and differences of stock dividends and cash dividends.
Answer:
Similarities: 1) Both involve a journal entry as the corporation is making a distribution to
shareholders, 2) similar dates are involved — declaration, date of record and
payment/distribution, and 3) both are declared by the board of directors and involve a very
formal process.
Differences: 1) Cash dividend is a distribution of an asset and therefore decreases total
shareholders' equity, whereas stock dividend is a distribution of equity, and therefore there is no
effect on total shareholders' equity, 2) given that the cash dividend is a distribution of an asset,
the declaration creates a legal liability that the corporation must recognize; this is not true for a
stock dividend, and 3) there are restrictions placed on cash dividends in order to protect the
creditors of the corporation.

71) IMHO Incorporated, a management consulting provider, has prospered during the past eight
years, and recently the company's market share price has shot up to $206.00. It currently has
20,000 issued and outstanding common shares with a book value of $200 per share. No preferred
shares exist. IMHO's management want to decrease the share price to the range of $65 to $75,
which will be attractive to more investors. Should the company issue a 100 percent stock
dividend or split the stock? Why? If you propose a stock split, state the split ration that will
accomplish the company's objective. Show your computations.
Answer: A 100% stock dividend or a 2-for-1 stock split will double the number of shares. The
stock dividend will require a decrease in retained earnings. To reach management's goal, the
stock dividend would have to be greater than 100%, which will have a significant impact to the
retained earnings balance. Therefore it is better to issue a stock split as there will be no effect on
retained earnings and due to the tax treatment it will be more popular for the existing
shareholders. Assuming the market share price will drop when the book value drops, then the
book value should be reduced to 1/3 of its current value. A 3-for-1 stock split would increase the
number of shares issued and outstanding to 60,000 and the book value would decrease to $66.67.

Answer:
1. The corporation may have issued all its authorized shares and needs to recover shares for
distribution under bonus plans or share purchase plans.
2. The purchase may help support the share's current market price by decreasing the supply of
shares available to the public.
3. Management may gather in the shares to avoid a takeover by an outside party.

35) Explain the ethical and legal dimension of share repurchase transactions.
Answer: Answers will vary for each student. Management has the stewardship obligation of
buying back the shares at a fair value. If the company holds back critical information that is not
publicly known and would likely increase the market price of their shares with the intention of
repurchasing their shares at the current lower market value, then it is unethical. A shareholder
could sue for breach of duty of care. Due to this issue there are specific legislation protecting the
shareholder from such acts, otherwise known as Insider Trading and it is a criminal offense.

55) A prudent investor will use the EPS figure on the income statement when considering where
to invest funds. Do you agree with this statement? Explain why or why not.
Answer: Students answers will vary. Although EPS is considered a key financial measurement
of a company's financial profitability, many items go into the calculation of the figure that can
increase or decrease the figure (especially diluted EPS which is a more complex topic). For
example, only the annual cumulative preferred share dividend is deducted from the net income,
when in reality there may be significant amount of dividends in arrears that would greatly impact
the amount of dividend the common shareholder would receive. Plus there is nothing preventing
management from buying back shares to increase the EPS figure. EPS is only one calculation
that can be influenced. Therefore the prudent investor should examine the trend of EPS. Is EPS,
in general, going up or down and what is typical for this industry? In addition to the EPS figure,
a prudent investor will consider many other factors, such as debt to equity ratio, return on equity,
and sales growth, when considering where to invest funds.

19) Explain what the difference is between a Statement of Changes in Equity and the Equity
section on the Balance Sheet.
Answer: As both have the Equity in the title novices often get these two mixed up. The first
informs an external user what has happened to Equity during the year—how did we get from the
opening balances to the closing balances. For a large public corporation this can be a very long
statement. Whereas the later only discloses the closing balances for each year being presented.
Usually two years are presented so the external user can compare the current year to the previous
year. Thus the Equity section on the balance sheet provides the starting point and the ending
point, whereas the statement of changes in equity explains the journey.

Common shares = $1,000,000 - (3,000 × $12.50) = $962,500
RE = $405,800 - (3,000 × $3) - (80,000 × $0.40) - (3,000 × (17.50 -$12.50)) + $287,000
= $636,800
