Answer to Problem 13SP
Solution:

Paid in Capital - Common Stock | $86,000 | ||
(Being common stock issued for $86,000) | |||
(B) | Bank | $86,000 | |
Paid in Capital − 7% Preferred Stock | $86,000 | ||
(Being 860 preferred shares with par value of $100 of 7% preferred stock issued) | |||
(C) | Bank | $86,000 | |
7% Notes Payable | $86,000 | ||
(Being Notes Payable Issued with 7% interest payable for 10 years) | |||
Explanation of Solution
- Assets and Expenses have debit balances and must be debited in order to increase their balance and credited in order to decrease their balance.
- Liabilities and Incomes have credit balances and must be debited in order to decrease their balance and credited in order to increase their balance.
- When a company decides to issue shares, it can do so at par, at a premium or at a discount. If the issue price equals the par value, the shares are said to be issued at par.
- If the issue price is less than the par value, the shares are said to be issued at a discount. If the issue price exceeds the par value, the shares are said to be issued at a premium
- In case of alternative A Bank will be debited by $86,000 and Paid in Capital - Common Stock will be debited by $86,000 since common stock was issued for $86,000. It is assumed stock is issued at par. After issuance of such stock the total equity share capital of the company will be $215,000 ($129,000 already invested + $86,000 fresh investment)
- In case of alternative B Bank will be debited by $86,000 and Paid in Capital − 7% Preferred Stock will be credited by $86,000 since 860 preferred shares with par value of $100 of 7% preferred stock were issued.
- In case of alternative C Bank will be debited by $86,000 and 7% Notes Payable will be credited by $86,000 since Notes Payable were Issued with 7% interest payable for 10 years.
- Bank is an asset and must be debited to indicate increase in balances. Paid in Capital - Common Stock − Common Stock, Paid in Capital − 7% Preferred Stock and Notes Payable are liabilities and must be credited to indicate increase in balances.
Hence the transactions have been journalized.

Answer to Problem 13SP
Solution:
Alternative A: Issue of Equity Shares:

Cons:
Alternative B: Issue of Preference Shares:

- Notes Payable would ensure there is no dilution of true ownership since there they are recorded as long term debt. However interest is payable on an annual basis.
Hence pros and cons of each alternative are listed.

To Determine:
Which class of shares should be issued
3)

Answer to Problem 13SP
Solution:
The company should initially issue preference shares as it would ensure there is no dilution of ownership.
Explanation of Solution
- Preference shares are a class of shares which do not carry voting rights. Preference shareholders get first preference in clearing the amounts invested and there is usually guarantee of profits / dividend on an annual basis.
- When an organization is in its initial stages, it should opt for issue of preference shares since preference shareholders need to be paid only preference dividend and they do not have any voting rights.
- Since Santana anticipates healthy profits as well as an ability to sell franchises in the future, there is sufficient Bank flow, and hence, in order to ensure there is no dilution of equity, the company should initially issue preference shares.
- They may also issue convertible preference shares if the intention is to dilute equity and reduce fixed costs in the form of preference dividend. Convertible Preference shares are preference shares that carry the option to be converted into equity shares after certain duration.
Hence it has been explained, why the company should issue preference shares initially.
