Stockholders’ Rights • The ownership of stock entitles stockholders to four basic rights, unless specific rights are withheld by agreement. • Vote • Dividends • Liquidation • Preemption
Classes of Stock • Common stock is the most basic form of capital stock. • Preferred stock gives its owners certain advantages over common stockholders.
Classes of Stock • What is par value? • It is an arbitrary amount assigned to a share of stock. • Most companies set the par value of their common stock quite low to avoid legal difficulties from issuing their stock below par.
Classes of Stock • No-par stock does not have a par value. • Some have a stated value. • Stated value is an arbitrary value assigned to a share of common stock. • This is similar to par value.

Prepare the Stockholders’ Equity Section of a Corporation Balance Sheet. Objective 3
Review of Accountingfor Paid-In Capital Stockholders’ Equity Paid-in Capital: Preferred stock, 5%, $100 par, 5,000 authorized, 400 shares issued $40,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par–preferred 14,000 Total paid-in capital, preferred stockholders $54,000
Review of Accountingfor Paid-In Capital Stockholders’ Equity Paid-in Capital: Common Stock, $10 par, 20,000 shares authorized, 4,500 issued $ 45,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par–common 72,000 Total paid-in capital $171,000 Retained earnings 85,000 Total stockholders’ equity $256,000
Review of Accountingfor Paid-In Capital • Paid-in capital and retained earnings represent the stockholders’ equity (ownership) in the assets of the corporation. • Paid-in capital comes from the corporation’s stockholders who invested in the company. • Retained earnings come from the corporation’s customers.
Review of Accountingfor Paid-In Capital • Which is more permanent, paid-in capital or retained earnings? • Paid-in capital is more permanent because corporations use their retained earnings for declaring dividends to the stockholders.
Dividend Dates • A corporation must declare a dividend before paying it. • The board of directors alone has the authority to declare a dividend.
Dividend Dates Three relevant dates for dividends are: Declaration date Date of record Payment date
Account for Cash Dividends. Objective 4
Cash Dividends Example • On April 1, the board declares a dividend of $1 per share payable June 15 to stockholders of record on May 15. • There are 60,000 shares outstanding.
Cash Dividends Example April 1 Retained Earnings 60,000 Dividends Payable 60,000 Declared a cash dividend June 15 Dividends Payable 60,000 Cash 60,000 Paid a cash dividend
Cash Dividends Example $50,000 dividends declared Preferred stock, 6%, 1,000 shares, $100 par Common stock, 25,000 shares, $100 par
Cash Dividends Example Preferred dividend 6% × $100 ×1,000 = $6,000 Common dividend $50,000 – $6,000 = $44,000
Cash Dividends Example Suppose there were 10,000, 6%, par value preferred shares Preferred dividend 6% × $100 ×10,000 = $60,000 Common shareholders receive nothing.
Cumulative and NoncumulativePreferred • If the preferred stock is cumulative, the $10,000 shortage must be paid before any dividend is paid to common shareholders. • If noncumulative, a passed dividend is simply lost.

Stock Values • The business community refers to different stock values in addition to par value. • market value • book value
Stock Values Example Book value per share = Total stockholders’ equity ÷ Total shares outstanding Book value common = (Stockholders’ equity – Amount allocated to preferred) ÷ Number of shares outstanding
Stock Values Example Stockholders’ Equity Paid-in Capital: Common Stock, $20 par value, 10,000 shares authorized, issued, and outstanding $200,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par–common 100,000 Total paid-in capital $300,000 Retained earnings 100,000 Total stockholders’ equity $400,000 Book value per share: $400,000 ÷ 10,000 = $40
