Common Stock 500
Addtl Paid in Capital – CS 499,500
Common stock is always par value x # shares ($0.01 x 50,000)
Additional Paid in Capital – CS is for the difference in par and cash received
Cash 300,000
Preferred Stock 300,000
Preferred stock is always par value x # shares ($100 x 3,000)
It was issued for par, so paid in capital is not necessary for the difference
Authorized 1,000,000 shares
Issued and outstanding 500,000 shares
Par Value of $0.50

Cash 240,000
Treasury Stock 200,000
Addtl Paid in Capital – TS 40,000

Treasury stock is always decreased at
original cost x # shares reissued
Cash is what is received, often referred to as
FMV.
Paid in capital is a plug for the difference.
10/10
Retained Earnings 20,000
Additional PIC – TS 40,000
Cash 240,000
Treasury Stock 300,000
First: record the cash received as a debit
Second: reduce treasury stock for original cost x # shares with credit (30K x $10)
Third: Determine what you need to have to get the entry in balance, debit or credit.
For a debit, use the Additional PIC – TS for all if you have enough, you can’t use more than you have recorded before, in this case the limit is 40,000.
If you need more debit, use retained earnings to balance the entry.
Record the stock split:
Check Your Answer
Total par before split = 100,000 shares x $1 par = $100,000
Total par after split = 200,000 shares x $0.50 par = $100,000
A split multiplies the number of shares and divides the par value.
The company will reissue new stock certificates changing the number of shares and the par value of each share.

Common stock, $0.10 par, 100,000 shares issued and 90,000 shares outstanding | $10,000 |
Additional Paid in Capital – Common Stock | $1,500,000 |
Treasury Stock, 10,000 shares | $120,000 |

Common Stock | 10,000 |
+ Addtl Paid in Capital – CS | 1,500,000 |
= Total cash received | 1,510,000 |

B. The total amount is number of shares outstanding x $ per share declared. Only outstanding shares receive the dividend; the company does not pay themselves cash on the treasury shares they own. (Cutting a check to them selves does not make sense)
Retained Earnings 90,000
Dividends Payable 90,000
Dividends Payable 90,000
Cash 90,000
C. The total dividend paid is # shares issued x par value per share x stated %
Retained Earnings 5,000
Dividends Payable 5,000
Dividends Payable 5,000
Cash 5,000
D. A stock dividend is paid on all issued stock. Stock the company owns also gets the dividend so the company does not lose value.
Number of shares issued | 100,000 |
x Dividend % | x .15 |
= Number of shares issued | 15,000 |
x Fair market value per share | $10 |
= Total decrease to Retained earnings | 150,000 |
Small stock dividend – use FMV for retained earnings
Retained Earnings 150,000
Stock Dividend Payable 150,000
Stock Dividend Payable 150,000
Common Stock 1,500
Addtl paid in capital – CS 148,500
Common stock always = # shares x par value
Then, the amount that makes the entry balance for Additional paid in capital
E. A stock dividend is paid on all issued stock. Stock the company owns also gets the dividend so the company does not lose value.
Number of shares issued | 100,000 |
x Dividend % | x .40 |
= Number of shares issued | 40,000 |
x Par value per share | $.10 |
= Total decrease to Ret earnings | 4,000 |
Large stock dividend, use par value for retained earnings
Retained Earnings 4,000
Stock Dividend Payable 4,000
Stock Dividend Payable 4,000
Common Stock 4,000
The dividend is at par, so there is no need for paid in capital

B. Which class of stock would an investor purchase if they were looking for a return of income only?
C. What was the price per share paid for treasury stock?

B. Preferred stock gives no voting rights and shareholders invest to get the annual dividend payment stated on the stock. The annual payment is considered annual income. Preferred stock does not increase in value as the company grows.
C. Treasury stock is always reported at cost, (what was paid for it).
Total treasury stock / # shares held = cost per share
$120,000 /10,000 shares = $12 per share historical cost
Number of treasury shares is always equal to the number of common shares issued less the number of common shares outstanding.
