IFRS and Stockholders’ Equity

 Items that have characteristics of both debt and

equity

 Example: Convertible bond is similar to debt but

because it will become stock if converted, it also has the characteristics of equity

 International accounting rules

be separated into two parts—liability and stockholders’ equity

 U.S accounting standards

 Do not require to be recorded as a separate amount

 Recorded as either liability or stockholders’ equity

common stockholders

 Right to the company’s assets before the common stockholders during liquidation

LO 2

Preferred Stock Additional Terms and

Features

firm as having a market value of $12,000

Treasury Stock

 Represents the corporation’s own stock, previously issued to shareholders, repurchased from stockholders and not retired, but held for various purposes

accounts

Cash Dividends

 Payment date: cash dividends are paid

 Date of record: dividend is paid to the stockholders who own the stock

as of this date

LO 5

Dividend Payout Ratio

LO 6

Example 11.7—Recording a Small Stock

Dividend

 Assume that Shah Company’s Stockholders’ Equity category of the balance sheet appears as follows as of January 1, 2014:

Example 11.7—Recording a Small Stock

Dividend (continued)

 Assume that on January 2, 2014, Shah declares a 10% stock dividend to

common stockholders to be distributed on April 1, 2014 Small stock

dividends (usually those of 20% to 25%) normally are recorded at the market value of the stock as of the date of declaration Assume that Shah’s common stock is selling at $40 per share on that date

Stockholders’ Equity Section

Example 11.8—Recording the Declaration

of a Large Stock Dividend

 Assume that instead of a 10% dividend, on January 2, 2014, Shah declares a 100% stock dividend to be distributed on April 1, 2014 The stock dividend results in 5,000 additional shares being issued and certainly meets the

definition of a large stock dividend

Example 11.8—Recording the Declaration

of a Large Stock Dividend (continued)

 The effect when the stock is actually distributed is as follows:

 The Stockholders’ Equity category of Shah’s balance sheet as of April 1 after the stock dividend is as follows:

LO 7

Example 11.9—Reporting a Stock Split

LO 9

Calculating Book Value When Preferred

Stock Is Present

 Exhibit 11.5—Workout Wonders’ Stockholders’ Equity Section

$13,972 − $500 = $13,472 million common stockholders’ equity

$13,472 /1,679 = $8.02 Book Value per Share

Market Value per Share

 The selling price of the stock as indicated by the most recent

transactions

 More meaningful measure of the value of the stock

 Example: the listing for Nike Inc stock on the Internet may indicate the following:

Exhibit 11.6—The Effect of Stockholders’

Equity Items on the Statement of Cash Flows

LO 10

Sole Proprietorships

 Business owned by one person

 The owner have an unlimited liability

 Not a separate entity for legal or tax purposes

 Assets and liabilities of the owner must be kept separate from the

business

 Owners’ equity is one account—the owner’s capital account

LO 11

Example 11.10—Recording Investments

in a Sole Proprietorship

 Assume that on January 1, 2014, Peter Tom began a new

business by investing $10,000 cash

Example 11.10—Recording Investments

in a Sole Proprietorship (continued)

 Assume that on July 1, 2014, Peter Tom took an auto valued at

$6,000 from the business to use as his personal auto

Example 11.10—Recording Investments

in a Sole Proprietorship (continued)

 The Peter Tom, Drawing account is a contra-equity account An increase in the account reduces the owner’s equity At the end

of the fiscal year, the drawing account should be closed to the capital account and the effect is as follows:

Example 11.10—Recording Investments

in a Sole Proprietorship (continued)

 Assume that all revenue and expense accounts of Peter Tom

Company have been closed to the Income Summary account,

resulting in a balance of $4,000, the net income for the year

Example 11.10—Recording Investments

in a Sole Proprietorship (continued)

 The Owner’s Equity section of the balance sheet

 More than one owner

 Separate capital account is maintained for each partner, as well as separate drawing accounts

 Partnership agreement governs how income (losses) will be

distributed

 Unlimited liability

 Limited life

 Not taxed as a separate entity

 Income is taxed on each owner’s tax return

Partnership Agreement

 Specifies how much the owners will invest, what their salaries will be, and how profits will be shared

Example 11.11—Recording Investments

Example 11.11—Recording Investments

in a Partnership (continued)

 Assume that on April 1, 2014, each owner withdraws $2,000 of cash from AP Company

Distribution of Income

 Assume that AP Company has $30,000 of net income for the period and has established an agreement that income should be allocated evenly between the two partners, Paige and Amy Each capital account would be increased by $15,000

Distribution of Income (continued)

 Paige and Amy may specify that all income of AP Company should be allocated in a 2-to-1 ratio, with Paige receiving the larger portion

Distribution of Income (continued)

 Assume that the partnership agreement of AP Company

specifies that Paige and Amy be allowed a salary of $6,000 and

$4,000, respectively; that each partner receive 10% on her

capital balance; and that any remaining income be allocated equally Assume that AP Company has been in operation for several years and that the capital balances of the owners at the end of 2014, before the income distribution, are as follows:

Paige Thoms, Capital $40,000

Amy Rebec, Capital 50,000

Distribution of Income (continued)

 If AP Company calculated that its 2014 net income (before

partner salaries) was $30,000, income would be allocated

between the partners as follows:

Distribution of Income (continued)

 Paige Thoms, Capital would be increased by $15,500, and Amy Rebec, Capital, by $14,500 The effect of closing the Income Summary account

to the capital accounts is as follows:

 This indicates that the amounts of $15,500 and $14,500 were

allocated to Paige and Amy, respectively It does not indicate the

amount actually paid to (or withdrawn by) the partners
