a share buyback can be viewed as a way to

"distribute" company profits without paying dividends. Capital gains from any stock price increase are taxed at lower capital gains tax rates than ordinary income tax rates on dividends.

Ownership interests of shareholders arise primarily from two sources:

(1) amounts invested by shareholders in the corporation and (2) amounts earned by the corporation on behalf of its shareholders.

two attributes reports are:

(1) components of comprehensive income created during the reporting period and (2) the comprehensive income accumulated over the current and prior periods

How we treat the difference between the cash paid to buy the shares and the amount the shares originally sold for

(amounts debited to common stock and paid-in capital—excess of par) depends on whether the cash paid is less than the original issue price (credit difference) or the cash paid is more than the original issue price (debit difference): 1.If a credit difference is created (as in Case 1 of Illustration 18-10), we credit paid-in capital—share repurchase. 2.If a debit difference is created (as in Case 2 of Illustration 18-10), we debit paid-in capital—share repurchase, but only if that account already has a credit balance. Otherwise, we debit retained earnings. (Reducing the account beyond its previous balance would create a negative balance.)

two primary source of shareholders equity?

1) amounts invested by shareholders in the corporation and (2) amounts earned by the corporation on behalf of its shareholders.

Comprehensive income extends our view of income beyond net income reported in an income statement to include four types of gains and losses not included in income statements:

1.Net holding gains (losses) on investments. 2.Gains (losses) from and amendments to postretirement benefit plans. 3.Deferred gains (losses) on derivatives. 4.Adjustments from foreign currency translation.

Whatever the reason shares are repurchased, a company has a choice of how to account for the buyback:

1.The shares can be formally retired. 2.The shares can be called treasury stock

how to journalizing more securities issue for a single price

As you might expect, the cash received usually is the sum of the separate market values of the two securities. Of course, each is then recorded at its market value. However, if only one security's value is known, the second security's market value is inferred from the total selling price as demonstrated in Illustration 18-8.

What is comprehensive income and how does it differ from net income?

Comprehensive income differs from the net income in the following ways: • Comprehensive income includes the changes between shareholders' equity and corporation like distribution of dividends and sale and purchase transactions of shares. • Net income includes the income earned through operating activities of the business. • Comprehensive income includes net income but does not form part of traditional net income.

Regardless of the placement a company chooses, the presentation is similar. It will report net income, other components of comprehensive income, and total comprehensive income, Note that each component is reported net of its related income tax expense or income tax benefit

The resale of treasury shares is viewed as the

consummation of the single transaction begun when the treasury shares were repurchased

any net increase in assets resulting from the sale and subsequent repurchase

is reflected as Paid-in capital—share

any net decrease in assets resulting from the sale and subsequent repurchase

is reflected as a reduction in retained earnings.

OCI shares another trait with net income

is reported periodically in the income statement and also on a cumulative basis as part of retained earnings

shares might be given in payment for land, or for equipment, or for some other noncash asset.

OCI second measure reporting

the comprehensive income accumulated over the current and prior periods—is reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity following retained earnings. Note that amounts reported here—accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI)—represent the cumulative sum of the changes in each component created during each reporting period throughout all prior years.
