Explanation of Solution

Given:

1,500,000 shares were authorized and 820,000 were issued and outstanding $8 par common shares.

(a) No. of shares issued and outstanding = 820,000

Cash Dividend per share = $0.20

Total cash dividend = No. of shares issued and outstanding × Cash Dividend per share

Total cash dividend = 820,000 × $0.20

Total cash dividend = $164,000

(c) No. of shares repurchased = 13,000

Value of repurchase = $12 per share

Total Value of repurchase of shares = No. of shares repurchased ×Value of repurchase

Total Value of repurchase of shares = 13,000 × $12

Total Value of repurchase of shares = $156,000

(d) No. of shares issued = 2,500

Market value of shares issued = $15

Par Value = $8

Total Market value of shares issued = No. of shares issued × Market value of shares issued

Total Market value of shares issued = 2,500 × $15

Total Market value of shares issued = $37,500

Total par value of shares issued = No. of shares issued × Par value of shares

Total par value of shares issued = 2,500 × $8

Total par value of shares issued = $20,000

Additional Paid-in Capital = Total Market value of shares issued - Total par value of shares issued

Additional Paid-in Capital = $37,500 - $20,000

Additional Paid-in Capital = $17,500

(e) No. of shares issued and outstanding = 820,000 − 13,000 + 2,500

No. of shares issued and outstanding = 809,500

Cash Dividend per share = $0.40

Total cash dividend = No. of shares issued and outstanding × Cash Dividend per share

Total cash dividend = 809,500 × $0.40

Total cash dividend = $323,800

(g) No. of shares issued and outstanding = 809,500

Stock Dividend = 10%

Stock Dividend = 809,500 × 10%

Stock Dividend = 80,950 shares

Total value of Stock Dividend = 80,950 × $15

Total value of Stock Dividend = $1,214,250

Total Par Value of Stock Dividend = 80,950 × $8

Total Par Value of Stock Dividend = $647,600

Additional Paid-in Capital = Total value of Stock Dividend - Total Par Value of Stock Dividend

Additional Paid-in Capital = $1,214,250 - $647,600

Additional Paid-in Capital = $566,650

(h) No. of shares issued and outstanding = 809,500 + 80,950

No. of shares issued and outstanding = 890,450

Cash Dividend per share = $0.45

Total cash dividend = No. of shares issued and outstanding × Cash Dividend per share

Total cash dividend = 890,450 × $0.45

Total cash dividend = $400,703.

To calculate:

Total cash and stock Dividend.

Answer to Problem 85PSB

Total Dividend (stock or cash) Paid during the year was $2,102,753.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

1,500,000 shares were authorized and 820,000 were issued and outstanding $8 par common shares.

As per the given transactions, the dividend (cash or stock) was paid on 4 dates:

Date Type of Dividend Amount ($)
April 6 Cash Dividend 164,000
September 14 Cash Dividend 323,800
October 25 Stock Dividend 1,214,250
December 20 Cash Dividend 400,703
- Total Dividend Paid (stock or cash) 2,102,753

Calculations:

1. Dividend paid on April 6:

No. of shares issued and outstanding = 820,000

Cash Dividend per share = $0.20

Total cash dividend = No. of shares issued and outstanding × Cash Dividend per share

Total cash dividend = 820,000 × $0.20

Total cash dividend = $164,000

2. Dividend paid on September 14:

No. of shares issued and outstanding = 820,000 − 13,000 + 2,500

No. of shares issued and outstanding = 809,500

Cash Dividend per share = $0.40

Total cash dividend = No. of shares issued and outstanding × Cash Dividend per share

Total cash dividend = 809,500 × $0.40

Total cash dividend = $323,800

3. Dividend paid on October 25:

No. of shares issued and outstanding = 809,500

Stock Dividend = 10%

Stock Dividend = 809,500 × 10%

Stock Dividend = 80,950 shares

Total value of Stock Dividend = 80,950 × $15

Total value of Stock Dividend = $1,214,250

Total Par Value of Stock Dividend = 80,950 × $8

Total Par Value of Stock Dividend = $647,600

Additional Paid-in Capital = Total value of Stock Dividend - Total Par Value of Stock Dividend

Additional Paid-in Capital = $1,214,250 - $647,600

Additional Paid-in Capital = $566,650

4. Dividend paid on December 20:

No. of shares issued and outstanding = 809,500 + 80,950

No. of shares issued and outstanding = 890,450

Cash Dividend per share = $0.45

Total cash dividend = No. of shares issued and outstanding × Cash Dividend per share

Total cash dividend = 890,450 × $0.45

Total cash dividend = $400,703.

Introduction:

Dividend is the amount that is paid to the stockholders’ periodically as a return on their investment in the company. Dividend can be made in two forms i.e. Cash Dividend and Stock Dividend.

To calculate:

Total cash and stock Dividend.

Answer to Problem 85PSB

The net effect of the dividends will be:

  1. Retained Earnings will reduce by cash dividend i.e. $888,503.
  2. Balance in cash account will also reduce by cash dividend i.e. $888,503.

(Rest, stock dividend value will be adjusted by increasing common stock and additional capital, and by decreasing retained earnings by the same amount.).

Explanation of Solution

Given:

1,500,000 shares were authorized and 820,000 were issued and outstanding $8 par common shares.

As per the given transactions, the dividend (cash or stock) was paid on 4 dates:

Date Type of Dividend Amount ($)
April 6 Cash Dividend 164,000
September 14 Cash Dividend 323,800
October 25 Stock Dividend 1,214,250
December 20 Cash Dividend 400,703
- Total Dividend Paid (stock or cash) 2,102,753

In accounting, every transaction has dual effect.

There are two types of dividend i.e. Stock and Cash Dividend.

  1. The first effect of both the dividends (cash or stock) is on Retained Earnings of the company. The dividend payable amount reduces the balance in retained earnings.
  2. The second effect of the dividend (cash or stock) is on the account through which they are paid.
  3. If cash dividend is paid then the second effect is on cash account as cash in the company decreases.
  4. If stock dividend is paid then the second effect is on common stock and additional paid in capital account as new shares are issued as dividends which further increase the balance of these accounts.

Total Cash Dividend = $164,000 + $323,800 + $400,703

Total Cash Dividend = $888,503

Total Stock Dividend = $1,214,250

Total Dividends Paid = Total Cash Dividend + Total Stock Dividend

Total Dividends Paid = $888,503 + $1,214,250

Total Dividends Paid = $2,102,753

This means,

  1. Retained earnings will decrease by Total Dividends Paid i.e. $2,102,753.
  2. Balance in cash account will decrease by total cash dividends paid i.e. $888,503.
  3. Balance in common stock and additional paid in capital account will increase by Total Stock Dividend i.e. $1,214,250.
