Table (1)

Working notes:

Calculate the amount of additional paid in capital on treasury stock:

Step 1: Calculate the purchase price per share.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Purchase price per share = }\left(\frac{\text{Purchase price}}{\text{Number of shares}}\right)\\ \text{ = }\left(\frac{\text{\$400,000}}{\text{20,000}}\right)\\ =\$20\text{ Per share}\end{array}$

Step 2: Calculate the reissue price per share.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Reissue price per share = }\left(\frac{\text{Reissue price}}{\text{Number of shares reissued}}\right)\\ \text{ = }\left(\frac{\text{\$250,000}}{\text{10,000}}\right)\\ =\$25\text{ Per share}\end{array}$

Step 3: Calculate the paid-in capital per share reissued.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Paid-in capital per share reissued= }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Reissue price per share}-\\ \text{Purchase price per share}\end{array}\right)\\ \text{ = }\left(\text{\$25}-\$20\right)\\ =\$5\text{ Per share}\end{array}$

Step 4: Calculate the total paid-in capital on treasury stock.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Total paid-in capital on treasury stock= }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Number of treasury shares reissued}\times \\ \text{ Paid-in capital per share reissued}\end{array}\right)\\ \text{ = }\left(\text{10,000}\times \$5\right)\\ =\$50,000\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of retained earnings at December 31, 2018:

Step 1: Calculate the amount of preferred dividends.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Amount of preferred dividends = }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Par value}\times \text{}\text{Dividend percentage}\\ \times \text{Number of shares in cumulative}\\ \text{ preferred stock}\times \text{ Number of years}\end{array}\right)\\ \text{ = }\left(\text{\$100}\times 10\%\times 30,000\times 5\text{ Years}\right)\\ =\$1,500,000\end{array}$

Step 2: Calculate the amount of common dividends paid during 2014-2015.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Common dividends paid}\\ \text{during 2014-2015}\end{array}\}\text{= }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Outstanding number of shares in 2014-2015}\\ \times \text{Pric per share each year}\times \\ \text{Number of years}\end{array}\right)\\ \text{ = }\left(\text{120,000}\times \$.50\times 2\text{ Years}\right)\\ =\$120,000\end{array}$

Step 3: Calculate the amount of common dividends paid during 2016-2017.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Common dividends paid }\\ \text{during 2016-2017}\end{array}\}\text{= }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Outstanding number of shares in 2016-2017}\\ \times \text{Pric per share each year}\times \\ \text{Number of years}\end{array}\right)\\ \text{ = }\left(\text{100,000}\times .\$50\times 2\text{ Years}\right)\\ =\$100,000\end{array}$

Step 4: Calculate the amount of common dividends paid during 2018.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Common dividends paid }\\ \text{during 2018}\end{array}\}\text{= }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Outstanding number of shares in 2018}\\ \times \text{Pric per share each year}\times \\ \text{Number of years}\end{array}\right)\\ \text{ = }\left(\text{110,000}\times \$.50\times \right)\\ =\$55,000\end{array}$

Step 4: Calculate the amount of retained earnings at December 31, 2018.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Retained earnings at}\\ \text{December 31, 2018}\end{array}\}\text{ = }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Net income for 2014-2018 }\\ -\text{Preferred dividend}\\ -\text{Common dividends}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\begin{array}{l}\$3,700,000-\$1,500,000\\ -\$275,000\end{array}\right)\\ =\$1,925,000\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of treasury stock.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Treasury stock = }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Reissue number of treasury stock }\\ \times \text{Purchase price per share}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(10,000\text{ shares}\times \text{\$20 per share}\right)\\ =\$200,000\end{array}$

b.

To determine

Compute the book value per share of common stock.

Explanation of Solution

The book value per share of common stock:

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Book value per share }\\ \text{of common stock}\end{array}\}=\left(\frac{\text{Total stockholders' equity}-\text{Preferred stock}}{\begin{array}{c}\text{Number of shares of }\\ \text{common stock outstanding}\end{array}}\right)\\ =\left(\frac{\text{\$6,695,000}-\$3,000,000}{110,000\text{ Shares}}\right)\\ =\left(\frac{3,695,000}{110,000\text{ Shares}}\right)\\ =\$33.59\end{array}$

Conclusion

Therefore, the book value per share of common stock is $33.59.
