FAR 7 Flashcards
Major Components of Stockholder’s Equity
- Capital stock
- APIC
- Retained earnings or deficit
- AOCI
- Treasury stock
Common stockholders’ equity formula
Total shareholders’ equity
- Pref stock outstanding ( at greater of call price or par)
- Cumm preferred div in arrears
= Common shareholders’ equity
BV per common share formula
Common SE equity/ Common shares outstanding
Cumulative preferred stock
All or part of pref div not paid in any year accumulates b/f div can be paid to common shareholders.
Also called dividends in arrears
Participating Pref Stock
Provides that pref SE share with common SE in dividends in excess of a specific amount.
“Share equally then pro rata”
Examples of transactions including APIC
- Sale of treasury stock at a gain
- Quasi-Reorg
- Issuance of liquidating dividends
- Conversion of bonds
- Declaration of small stock div
Retained Earnings Formula
Net income/loss - Div (cash, property, stock) declared \+/- prior period adjustments \+/- accounting changes reported retrospectively \+ adjustment from quasi reorg = RE
Quasi Reorg - Summary/Purpose
Accounting adjustment, eliminate deficit in RE, “fresh start”.
Restate overvalued assets to their lower FV (reduce depreciation) eliminate RE deficit
Quasi Reorg- Procedures
Revalue assets to current FV and liabilities to PV (no net increase in asset value permitted, write-down charged to RE.
Bring RE to zero against APIC
Quasi Reorg - J/E to eliminate deficit in RE
Dr. Common stock
Cr. Retained Earnings
Cr. APIC
In essence, you will reduce APIC by lowering par value of common stock to wipe away RE deficit.
2 Methods of Treasury Stock Accounting
Cost Method - majority of time used
Legal or Par/Stated Value Method
Direct adjustment to SE not included in determination of NI
Treasury stock - cost method
Treasury stock recorded and carried at their re-acquisition cost. Gain/Loss determined when treasury stock is reissued or retired. Never hits NI.
Ex: Reissue above cost
Dr. Cash
Cr. Treasury stock (qty x buy back price)
Cr. APIC (difference b/t buy back price and sale price)
Treasury stock - Legal Par/Stated Value Method
Reduce amounts of par value and APIC received at time of original sale.
Ex: Buy back above issue
Dr. Treasury stock (qty x par)
Dr. APIC (same rate as when sold)
Dr. RE (only if no balance in APIC)
Cr. Cash
Ex Buy back below issue price
Dr. Treasury stock (qty x par)
Dr. APIC (same rate as when sold)
Cr. Cash
Cr. APIC - T/S
Sale of subscriptions J/E & Issuance of Stock Previously Subscribed J/E
Dr. Subscriptions receivable
Cr. Common stock subscribed
Cr. APIC
Dr. Common stock subscribed (use par)
Cr. Common stock (issued)
Exercise of Stock Rights
Dr. Cash
Cr. Common stock (par value)
Cr. APIC (residual)
Dividend Date of Declaration
Date board of directors formally approves dividend.
Dr. RE
Cr. Liability (dividends payable)
Liquidating Dividends
Occur when dividends to SE exceed RE. Dividends in excess of RE first debited to APIC and then to common or pref stock.
Reduce total PIC.
Treatment of Small Stock Dividend
< 20%-25% of shares previously outstanding, transfer from RE to common stock & APIC
Dr. RE (# of shares x FMV)
Cr. Common stock
Cr. APIC
Treatment of Large Stock Dividend - > 20-25%
J/E at declaration
Dr. RE
Cr. Common stock distributable (use qty x par)
J/E to record distribution
Dr. Common stock distributable
Cr. Capital stock, par
EPS - Income Available to Common Shareholders Formula
Net income
- div declared on non-cumm pref stock (regardless if paid)
- div accum on cumm pref stock (regardless if declared)
Basic EPS Formula
Income available to common shareholders/
Weighted avg # of common shares outstanding
Stock dividends & splits regarding weighted average common shares outstanding
Must be treated as though they occurred at the beginning of the period.
If occurs after end of period but b/f FS issued, retroactively state as well.
Diluted EPS Formula
Income available to common stock shareholders + interest on dilutive securities/
WA # of common shares, assuming all dilutive securities are converted to common stock
Dilutive Effect on weighted average common shares
Only dilutive when “in the money”
Difference b/t # of shares assumed issued and # of shares assumed to be purchased with proceeds should be included in # of shares (denominator) for diluted EPS.
