Study Notes

Corporate Structure and Types

A corporation is a legal entity separate from its owners, with stockholders or shareholders as owners.
Types of corporations include privately held (does not offer stock publicly) and publicly held (offers stock for public sale).

Advantages and Disadvantages of Corporations

Advantages of corporations:
- Ease of capital accumulation: Corporations can raise funds more effectively.
- Limited liability for shareholders: Stockholders are not personally liable for corporate debts.
- Continuous life: Corporations can survive beyond the lives of their owners.
Disadvantages of corporations:
- Corporate taxation: Corporations face taxes on profits before dividends are distributed.
- Government regulation: Corporations must comply with extensive regulations.

Authority in Corporations

Authority hierarchy is as follows:
- Stockholders (highest authority)
- Board of Directors
- President/Vice President/Officers
- Employees
Stockholders elect the Board of Directors, who hire corporate officers to manage the business.

Stock Details

Corporate stock can be authorized (the total allowed by charter), issued (actual shares sold), and outstanding (shares owned by investors).
Common stock is the most common type of stock, providing votes and dividends.
No-par value stock has no assigned value per share, allowing for flexible pricing.

Dividends

A dividend is a distribution of cash or stock to shareholders, authorized by the Board of Directors.
Important dates associated with dividends:
- Date of declaration: When the dividend is officially declared.
- Date of record: When shareholders eligible for dividends are determined (no journal entry required).
- Date of payment: When payment is made to shareholders.

Stock Transactions and Journal Entries

Company must record various transactions involving the issuance of stock and payment of dividends with specific journal entries.
Example: Issuing stock for contributions (like land or equipment) is recorded as credits to Common Stock and Paid-in Capital.
If a corporation issues stock above par value, this results in a premium.

Statements and Reports

Stockholders’ equity statements typically consist of Paid-in Capital and Retained Earnings.
Date of payment journal entries will debit the cash account for total dividend payment.

Miscellaneous

A proxy allows a designated agent to vote on behalf of a shareholder.
Transfer agents help with the handling of stock transactions, including the issuance of stock certificates.
Liquidating dividends return capital to investors from contributed capital rather than retained earnings.### Accounting Entries for Dividends
Debits to Cash, Retained Earnings, and Common Dividend Payable are recorded for dividend transactions.
Credits to Cash, Common Dividend Payable, and Retained Earnings also appear in dividend accounting entries.

Stock Dividends

A stock dividend may be authorized by the board of directors for various reasons, such as maintaining stock affordability and showing management's confidence.
The reduction of par stock value is not a rationale for issuing stock dividends.
A retained earnings deficit occurs when the balance is debit due to cumulative losses or dividend payouts exceeding total earnings.

Types of Stock Dividends

Small stock dividends are those of 20% or less of previously outstanding shares.
Large stock dividends require a minimum distribution of 25% of these shares.
Stock dividends help keep stock prices affordable rather than decreasing outstanding shares.

Accounting Entries for Stock Dividends

Stock dividends require specific journal entries, such as debiting Retained Earnings based on the stock's par value and fair market value.
For instance, on a 10% stock dividend with 10,000 shares at a $5 market value, a debit to Retained Earnings of $5,000 would be recorded.
Upon payment of the stock dividend, a debit entry is made to Common Stock Dividends Distributable equal to the par value of distributed shares.

Stock Splits and Their Impact

A stock split increases the number of shares available and reduces the par value of each share without impacting retained earnings.
No journal entry is necessary to record a stock split.

Preferred Stock

Preferred stock offers rights such as priority for dividends and asset distribution during liquidation.
When preferred stock is issued, entries are recorded for the par value, with any excess credited to Paid-In Capital.
Preferred shareholders receive dividends before common stockholders, but preferment does not guarantee payment if dividends are not declared.

Cumulative vs. Noncumulative Preferred Stock

Cumulative preferred stock allows holders to accumulate unpaid dividends, unlike noncumulative preferred stock, which does not provide this right.
In a scenario where preferred dividends are unpaid, the amount due is termed as "dividend in arrears."

Dividend Distribution

Payments to preferred shareholders can be calculated based on shares and dividend rates.
In a practical example, if there are 10,000 shares of preferred stock with a 5% rate, a $15,000 dividend authorization would result in $2,500 payable to preferred shareholders before any common stock distribution.
