CHAPTER 13 CORPORATIONS: ORGANIZATION, STOCK
TRANSACTIONS, AND DIVIDENDS
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. No. Common stock with a higher par is not necessarily a better investment than com-mon stock with a lower par because par is an amount assigned to the shares.
2. The broker is not correct. Corporations are not legally liable to pay dividends until the dividends are declared. If the company that issued the preferred stock has operating losses, it could omit dividends, first, on its common stock and, later, on its preferred stock.
3. The company may not have had enough cash on hand to pay a dividend on the com-mon stock, or resources may be needed for plant expansion, replacement of facilities, payment of liabilities, etc.
4. a. No change. b. Total equity is the same.
5. a. Current liability b. Stockholders equity
6. a. It has no effect on revenue or expense. b. It reduces stockholders equity by
$1,000,000. 7. a. It has no effect on revenue. b. It increases stockholders equity by
$1,200,000. 8. The three classifications of restrictions on
retained earnings are legal, contractual, and discretionary. Appropriations are normally reported in the notes to the financial state-ments.
9. Such prior period adjustments should be reported as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings.
10. The primary purpose of a stock split is to bring about a reduction in the market price per share and thus to encourage more in-vestors to buy the companys shares.
