Forming a Corporation
Initial Steps:
File application with governmental agency in the jurisdiction
in which incorporation is desired
Government grants charter
Corporation develops by-laws

Shareholder Rights
1. Vote in election of board of directors at annual
meeting and vote on actions that require
shareholder approval.
2. Share the corporate earnings through receipt of
dividends.
3. Keep the same percentage ownership when new
shares are issued (preemptive right).
4. Share in assets upon liquidation in proportion to
their holdings. This is called a residual claim.
Share Issue Considerations (1 of 6)
When a corporation decides to issue shares, it must
resolve a number of basic questions:
1. How many shares should it authorize for sale?
2. How should it issue the shares?
3. What value should the corporation assign to the
shares?

Authorized Shares
Charter indicates amount of shares that a
corporation is authorized to sell
Number of authorized shares is often reported in
equity section
No formal accounting entry

Issuance of Shares
Companies issue ordinary shares directly to
investors or indirectly through an investment
banking firm
Factors in setting price for a new issue of shares:
1. Company’s anticipated future earnings
2. Expected dividend rate per share
3. Current financial position
4. Current state of economy
5. Current state of ©2019

Market Price of Shares
Shares of publicly held companies are traded on
organized exchanges
Interaction between buyers and sellers determines
the prices per share
Prices tend to follow the trend of a company’s
earnings and dividends
Factors beyond a company’s control may cause day-
to-day fluctuations in market prices
Par and No-Par Value Shares
Par value determined legal capital per share that a
company must retain in business for protection of
corporate creditors
Today many governments do not require a par value
No-par value shares is fairly common today
In many countries, the board of directors assigns a
stated value to no-par shares

Corporate Capital (1 of 3)
Equity is identified by various names:
stockholders’ equity,
shareholders’ equity, or
corporate capital.
The equity section of a corporation’s statement of
financial position consists of two parts:
1. share capital and
2. retained earnings (earned capital).
Share Capital
Share capital is the total amount of cash and other
assets paid in to the corporation by shareholders in
exchange for shares.

Retained Earnings
Net income that a corporation retains for future use.
Net income is recorded in Retained Earnings by a
closing entry. For example, assuming that net income
for Delta Robotics in its first year of operations is
HK$1,300,000, the closing entry is:
Income Summary 1,300,000
Retained Earnings 1,300,000

Corporate Capital
Comparison of the equity accounts reported on a
statement of financial position for a proprietorship
and a corporation.

Accounting for Ordinary Shares
Issuing Par Value Ordinary Shares for Cash
Par value does not indicate a share’s market price
Cash proceeds from issuing par value shares may be
equal to, greater than, or less than par value
Issuance of ordinary shares for cash
 Credit par value of shares to Share Capital—
Ordinary
 Record in a separate account portion of proceeds
that is above or below par value
Issuing Par Value Ordinary Shares for
Cash (1 of 3)
Example 1
Assume that C Corporation issues 20,000 shares of $10 per
common stock for cash at $ 10, the entry to record the
transaction is:

Cash (2 of 3)
Example 2
Assume that C Corporation issues 20,000 shares of $10 par
value per common stock for cash at $ 15, the entry to record
the transaction is:

Cash
Example 3
Assume that C Corporation issues 20,000 shares of
$10 per common stock for cash at $ 8, the entry to
record the transaction is:

Issuing No-Par Ordinary Shares (1 of 2)
Example 1 No par, stated value
Assume that C Corporation issues 20,000 shares of
$15 stated value common stock for cash at $ 18, the
entry to record the transaction is:

Issuing No-Par Ordinary Shares (2 of 2)
Example 2 No par, stated value
Assume that C Corporation issues 20,000 shares of no
par, no stated value common stock for cash at $ 18,
the entry to record the transaction is:

Issuing Ordinary Shares for Services or
Non-cash Assets
Corporations also may issue shares for:
Services (attorneys or consultants)
Non-cash assets (land, buildings, and equipment)
Cost is either the fair market value of the
consideration given up, or the fair market value of the
consideration received, whichever is more clearly
determinable.

Ordinary Shares for Services
Example 1
Assume C Corporation issues 500 shares of $ 10 par common
stock with a current market price of $12 to buy a land and
assume further that the market value of the land is not
objectively determinable. The transaction is to be recorded
as:

Ordinary Shares for Non-Cash Assets
Example 2
Assume that the attorneys for C Corporation agree to accept
400 shares of $ 10 par common stock in payment for their bill
of $5,000 for services performed in helping the corporation to
incorporate. At the time of the exchange there is no
established market price for the stock. The transaction is to be
recorded as:

Accounting for Preference Shares (1 of 2)
Typically, preferred shareholders have a priority as to:
1. Distributions of earnings (dividends).
2. Assets in event of liquidation.
Generally do not have voting rights.
Accounting for preference shares at issuance is similar
to that for ordinary shares.

Accounting for Treasury Shares
Treasury shares are a corporation’s own shares that it
has reacquired from shareholders but not retired.
Corporations acquire treasury shares for various
reasons:
1. To reissue the shares to officers and employees
under bonus and share compensation plans.
2. To enhance the share’s market value.
3. To have additional shares available for use in the
acquisition of other companies.
4. To increase earnings per share.
Purchase of Treasury Shares (1 of 3)
Companies generally use cost method
Debit Treasury Shares for price paid to reacquire
shares
Treasury shares is a contra equity account
Reduces equity

Purchase of Treasury Shares
Example
Assume C Corporation repurchases 500 shares of its
$10 par common stock at $25 per share:

Sale of Treasury Shares At Cost
Example
Assume C Corporation sells 200 shares of treasury stock for

$25 per share. The treasury stock had been purchased for $25
per share. The entry to record the transaction is:
A corporation does not realize a gain or suffer a loss from

shares transactions with its own shareholders.

Sale of Treasury Shares Above Cost (1 of 2)
Example
Assume C Corporation sells the 200 additional shares of
treasury stock for $30 per share. The entry to record the
transaction is:

Sale of Treasury Shares Below Cost (2 of 2)
Example
Assume C Corporation sells the 100 additional shares of
treasury stock again for $18 per share. The entry to record the
transaction is:

Treasury Shares
Salvador SA purchases 3,000 shares of its R$50 par value
ordinary shares for R$180,000 cash on July 1. It will hold the
shares in the treasury until resold. On November 1, the
corporation sells 1,000 treasury shares for cash at R$70 per
share. Journalize the treasury share transactions.

Dividends and Splits
Distribution of cash or shares to shareholders on a
pro rata (proportional to ownership) basis.
Types of Dividends:
1. Cash
2. Property
3. Shares
4. Scrip (promissory note to pay cash)

Accounting for Cash Dividends (1 of 3)
For a corporation to pay a cash dividend, it must
have:
1. Retained earnings - Payment of cash dividends from
retained earnings is legal in all jurisdictions.
2. Adequate cash.
3. A declaration of dividends by Board of Directors.

Three dates are important:

Illustration: On December 1, 2020, the directors of Media
General declare a €0.50 per share cash dividend on 100,000
shares of €10 par value ordinary shares. The dividend is
payable on January 20 to shareholders of record on December
22.
Dec. 1 Cash Dividends 50,000
Dividends Payable 50,000
Dec. 22 No entry
Jan. 20 Dividends Payable 50,000
Cash 50,000
Dividend Preferences (1 of 3)
Right to receive dividends before ordinary
shareholders
Per share dividend amount is stated as a percentage
of preference shares par value or as a specified
amount
Cumulative Dividend - Preference shareholders
must be paid both current-year dividends and any
unpaid prior-year dividends before ordinary
shareholders are paid dividends

Cumulative Dividend
Illustration: Scientific Leasing has 5,000 shares of 7%, €100
par value, cumulative preference shares outstanding. Each
€100 share pays a €7 dividend (.07 × €100). The annual
dividend is €35,000 (5,000 × €7 per share). If dividends are
two years in arrears, preference shareholders are entitled to
receive the following dividends.
Dividends in arrears (€35,000 × 2) € 70,000
Current-year dividends 35,000
Total preference dividends €105,000

Allocating Cash Dividends between Preference
and Ordinary Shares
Holders of cumulative preference shares must be paid any
unpaid prior-year dividends and their current year’s dividend
before ordinary shareholders receive dividends.

Allocating Cash Dividends (1 of 3)
Illustration: On December 31, 2019, IBR Inc. has 1,000 shares
of 8%, €100 par value cumulative preference shares. It also
has 50,000 shares of €10 par value ordinary shares
outstanding. At December 31, 2019, the directors declare a
€6,000 cash dividend. Calculate the annual preferred
dividend.
€100 par x 8% x 1,000 shares = €8,000
Prepare the entry to record the declaration of the dividend.

Illustration: At December 31, 2020, IBR declares a €50,000
cash dividend. Show the allocation of dividends to each class
of stock.
Total dividend €50,000

Allocated to preference shares
Dividends in arrears, 2019 (1,000 × €2) €2,000
2020 dividend (1,000 × €8) 8,000 10,000
Remainder allocated to common shares €40,000

Illustration: At December 31, 2020, IBR declares a €50,000
cash dividend. Prepare the entry to record the declaration of
the dividend.

DO IT! 3a: Dividends on Preference and
Ordinary Shares (1 of 3)
Master Mind Gaming has 2,000 shares of 6%, ¥100 par value
preference shares outstanding at December 31, 2020. At December
31, 2020, the company declared a ¥60,000 cash dividend.
Determine the dividend paid to preference shareholders and
ordinary shareholders under each of the following scenarios.
1. The preference shares are non-cumulative, and the company
has not missed any dividends in previous years.
Preference shareholders are paid only this year’s dividend
Preference shareholders = ¥12,000 (2,000 x .06 x ¥100)
Ordinary shareholders = ¥48,000 (¥60,000 - ¥12,000)
2. The preference shares are non-cumulative, and the company
did not pay a dividend in each of the two previous years.
Past unpaid dividends do not have to be paid
Preference shareholders = ¥12,000 (2,000 x .06 x ¥100)
3. The preference shares are cumulative, and the company did
not pay a dividend in each of the two previous years.
Dividends that have been missed (arrears) must be paid
Preference shareholders = ¥36,000 (3 x 2,000 x .06 x ¥100)
Accounting for Share Dividends (1 of 2)
A pro rata (proportional to ownership) distribution of the
corporation’s own shares to shareholders.
Reasons why corporations issue share dividends:
1. Satisfy shareholders’ dividend expectations without
spending cash
2. Increase marketability of corporation’s shares
3. Emphasize a portion of shareholders’ equity has
been permanently reinvested in business

Accounting for Share Dividends (2 of 2)
a. Small share dividend (less than 20–25% of
corporation’s issued shares, recorded at fair market
value)
 Accounting based on assumption that a small
share dividend will have little effect on market
price of outstanding shares
b. Large share dividend (greater than 20–25% of issued
share, recorded at par value)

Appendix 12A Statement Presentation of
Equity (1 of 2)
When statements of financial position and income statements are
presented by a corporation, changes in the separate accounts
comprising equity should also be disclosed.
Disclosures are made in an additional statement called the
statement of changes in equity.
Statement shows the changes in each equity account and in total
equity during the year
When a statement of changes in equity is presented, a retained
earnings statement is not necessary because the retained
earnings column explains the changes in this account
