46
Q

When is paid in capital from treasury stock increased under the par method?

A

When treasury stock is purchased for less than original issue price.

47
Q

Under the par method of accounting for treasury stock, the amount of additional paid-in capital FROM ORIGINAL ISSUANCE is reduced when treasury stock is purchased. When treasury stock is reissued, additional paid-in capital is credited for the amount in excess of par, just as in the issuance of unissued shares.

A

true

48
Q

Under the par value method, when treasury stock is purchased and retired at a price exceeding the original issue price, the following entry is made. No additional paid-in capital from treasury stock transactions exists. Therefore, retained earnings is debited. Common stock par Additional paid-in capital original issue price - par Retained earnings acquisition price - original issuance price Cash acquisition price. Thus, net common stock, APIC, and R.E. decrease.

A

true

50
Q

shares are considered donated treasury shares. Treasury stock and a gain or revenue account are increased by the market value of the stock received in donation (FAS 116). The increase in the treasury stock account decreases the owners’ equity, but the gain or revenue increases the owners’ equity by the same amount. Therefore, there is no net effect on the owners’ equity

A

true

51
Q

Under the cost method, additional paid-in capital from treasury stock transactions is credited when treasury stock is reissued at a price in excess of cost. This account is to be debited before retained earnings when the opposite occurs: reissue treasury stock at less than cost (as happened in the question).

A

T

52
Q

Under the cost method, when treasury stock is purchased for an amount less than original price, the treasury stock account is debited. This is a contra OE account.
Additional paid-in capital and retained earnings are unaffected. Under the par method, the treasury stock account is debited for par value, and additional paid-in capital is debited for the amount in proportion to the original issue price. Because less was paid for the treasury stock than was received on original issuance, retained earnings is unaffected. Rather, additional paid-in capital from treasury stock is credited for the difference, but not by as much as the debit to the original issuance additional paid-in capital account.

On balance, additional paid-in capital decreases under the par method relative to the cost method, but there is no difference in the effect on retained earnings (neither method affects retained earnings under the conditions in the problem).

53
Q

Additional paid-in capital is reduced when stock is retired because the additional paid-in capital from treasury stock transactions is closed.

100% stock dividend is a “large” stock dividend because it exceeds 20% - 25%. Large stock dividends are capitalized at par value. Retained earnings is reduced by the par value of the shares issued, and common stock is increased by the par value of stock issued. There is no effect on additional paid-in capital because the entire decrease in retained earnings is recorded in common stock. A large stock dividend permanently capitalizes the par value of the issued shares into common stock.

A

True

72
Q

stock dividend is a “small” stock dividend because it is less than 20% - 25%. Small stock dividends are capitalized at market value, which exceeds par in this case.

77
Q

Partially participating preferred stock

A

after common is paid its matching, preferred receives dividends up to an additional percentage, remainder goes to common. If DIVS are not sufficient to provide additional participating percentage to both common/preferred, then each receives its share based on proportion to total par value
