Introduction:
A common stock is issued by the company to raise finance using equity. These are issued to the investors (who are regarded as stockholders or shareholders, once common stock is issued to them) with no obligation to pay dividend periodically. Common stock is also referred to as common shares.
To explain:
The effect of par value on capital contributed and total stockholders’ equity.
Answer to Problem 60E
The total capital contributed and total shareholders’ equity remains unchanged if there is change in the par value of shares issued.
Explanation of Solution
The effect of Par value on:
- Contributed Capital: The contributed capital is divided into two accounts, i.e., Common Stock and Additional Paid-in (common stock). Par value is the minimum value for which a company can issue its common stock.
- Total Stockholders’ Equity: Total Shareholders’ equity includes various components. Some of the are:
- Common Stock
- Additional Paid-in (common stock)
- Preferred Stock
- Additional Paid-in (Preferred stock)
- Retained Earnings
Change in par value doesn’t affect the contributed capital as a whole. It affects the common stock account which is the amount that received for issuing stock at par value; the additional amount is recorded in the Additional Paid-in (common stock).
Hence, it can be concluded that larger the par value, smaller will be the additional paid-in capital.
Change in par value doesn’t affect total shareholders’ equity as a whole.
For instance, the issue price of a common stock is $25 (wherein $10 is par value and 20 shares have been issued).
This means,
Common Stock =
Additional Paid-in (common stock) =
Total Stockholders’ Equity = Common Stock + Additional Paid-in (common stock)
Total Stockholders’ Equity = $200 + $300
Total Stockholders’ Equity = $500
Now, the issue price increased to $20. This means,
Common Stock =
Additional Paid-in (common stock) =
Total Stockholders’ Equity = Common Stock + Additional Paid-in (common stock)
Total Stockholders’ Equity = $400 + $100
Total Stockholders’ Equity = $500
Hence, the total shareholders’ equity remains unchanged.
