Corporations: Organization, Stock Transactions,
Dividends, and Retained Earnings
Accounting for Stock Transactions
When par value common stock is issued for cash, the par value of the shares is credited to Common Stock and
the portion of the proceeds that is above or below par value is recorded in a separate paid-in capital
account.
When no-par common stock has a stated value, the stated value is credited to Common Stock. When the
selling price exceeds the stated value, the excess is credited to Paid-in Capital in
Excess of Stated Value. When no-par stock does not have a stated value, the entire proceeds are credited
to Common Stock.
Example 1: Osage Corporation issued 2,000 shares of stock.
Prepare the entry for the issuance under the following assumptions.
(a) The stock had a par value of $5 per share and was issued for a total of $52,000.
(b) The stock had a stated value of $5 per share and was issued for a total of $52,000.
(c) The stock had no par or stated value and was issued for a total of $52,000.

Example 2: As an auditor for the CPA firm of Hinkson and Calvert, you encounter the following situations in
auditing different clients.
1.
LR Corporation is a closely held corporation whose stock is not publicly traded. On December 5, the
corporation acquired land by issuing 5,000 shares of its $20 par value common stock. The owners’ asking
price for the land was $120,000, and the fair value of the land was $110,000.
2.
Vera Corporation is a publicly held corporation whose common stock is traded on the securities markets.
On June 1, it acquired land by issuing 20,000 shares of its $10 par value stock. At the time of the
exchange, the land was advertised for sale at $250,000. The stock was selling at $11 per share.
Prepare the journal entries for each of the situations above.

Preferred Stock
a) When preferred stock is cumulative,
any dividends in arrears (preferred dividends not declared in a given
period) must be paid to preferred stockholders before allocating any dividends to common stockholders.
b)
When preferred stock is
not
cumulative, only the current year’s dividend must be paid to preferred
stockholders before paying any dividends to common stockholders.
Example 3: Hodge Corporation issued 100,000 shares of $20 par value, cumulative, 6% preferred stock on
January 1, 2021, for $2,300,000. In December 2023, Hodge declared its first dividend of $500,000.
Instructions
(a) Prepare Hodge's journal entry to record the issuance of the preferred stock.
(b) If the preferred stock is not cumulative, how much of the $500,000 would be paid to common stockholders?
(c) If the preferred stock is cumulative, how much of the $500,000 would be paid to common stockholders?

ROE= Net Income-Preferred div./ average common stock equity Example 9:
In 2022, Pennington Corporation had net sales of $600,000 and cost of goods sold of $360,000. Operating expenses were $153,000, and interest expense was $7,500. The corporation's tax rate is 30%. The corporation declared common dividends of $25,000 and preferred dividends of $15,000 in 2022, and its average common stockholders' equity during the year was $200,000.
Compute Pennington Corporation's payout ratio and return on common stockholders' equity for 2022.
Payout Ratio= 25k/(600k-360k-153k-7,500)*(1-30%)
=45%
