Paper Co. had net income of $70,000 during the year. Dividend payment was $10,000. The following information is available: Mortgage repayment $20,000 Available-for-sale securities purchased 10,000 increase Bonds payable - issued 50,000 increase Inventory 40,000 increase Accounts payable 30,000 decrease What amount should Paper report as net cash provided by operating activities in its statement of cash flows for the year under U.S. GAAP?
0 dollars is correct. The operating activities section includes cash flows from working capital (current assets and current liabilities) and other income statement items. Under the indirect method, net income is adjusted for non-cash items and increases/decrease in working capital items to arrive at net cash from operating activities. Increases in current assets and decreases in current liabilities are uses of cash, while decreases in current assets and increases in current liabilities increase cash. Net income $70,000 Less: Increase in inventory (40,000) Less: Decrease in AP (30,000) Net cash provided by operating activities $ 0

Cyan uses the cost method to record treasury stock. Net income for the year ended December 31, Year 2, was $60,000. At December 31, Year 2, what amount should Cyan report as retained earnings?
Choice "a" is correct. $360,000 retained earnings at 12/31 /Year 2 ($300 + $60). Because all treasury stock transactions were recorded under the "cost method," and the resale of treasury stock was at a price that exceeded its acquisition price, none of the treasury stock transactions affected retained earnings. Choice "b" is incorrect. The $5,000 gain [1 000 shares x ($25 sale price - $20 purchase price)] is recorded as a credit to Additional Paid-in Capital-Treasury Stock, not as a credit to retained earnings. Only losses in excess of APIC-Treasury Stock are booked to retained earnings.
Karr, Inc. reported net income of $300,000 during the current year. Changes occurred in several balance sheet accounts as follows: Equipment $25,000 increase Accumulated depreciation 40,000 increase Note payable 30,000 increase •During the year , Karr sold equipment costing $25,000, with accumulated depreciation of $12,000, for a gain of $5,000. • In December, Karr purchased equipment costing $50,000 with $20,000 cash and a 12o/o note payable of $30,000. • Depreciation expense for the year was $52,000. In Karr's statement of cash flows , net cash used in investing activities should be a. $2,000 b. $12,000 c. $22,000 d. $35,000
Choice "a" is correct. Cash used for investing activities is computed as follows: Sale of equipment Purchase of equipment Cash used for investing $18,000 (20,000) $ 2.000
In computing the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year, which of the following midyear events must be treated as if it had occurred at the beginning of the year? a. Declaration and distribution of stock dividend. b. Purchase of treasury stock. c. Sale of additional common stock. d. Sale of preferred convertible stock. Explanation
Choice "a" is correct. In computing the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for earnings per share (EPS) determination, a stock dividend (or a stock split) to the same class of shareholders must be retroactively recognized and treated as if it had occurred at the beginning of the year. In addition, EPS for all prior periods presented must be adjusted as though the shares had been outstanding for the entire period presented.
In preparing its cash flow statement for the year ended December 31, Reve Co. collected the following data: Gain on sale of equipment$ (6,000) Proceeds from sale of equipment 10,000 Purchase of A.S., Inc. bonds (par value $200,000) (180,000) Amortization of bond discount 2,000 Dividends declared (45,000) Dividends paid 38,000) Proceeds from sale of Treasury stock (carrying amount $65,000) 75,000 In its December 31, statement of cash flows , what amount should Reve report as net cash used in investing activities? a. $170,000 b. $176,000 c. $188,000 d. $194,000
Choice "a" is correct. Investing activities include acquisitions and sales of long-term assets or investment assets. Cash used equals $170,000 ($180,000 paid less $10,000 received from the sale of the equipment).
On March 1, Rya Corp. issued 1,000 shares of its $20 par value common stock and 2,000 shares of its $20 par value convertible preferred stock for a total of $80,000. At this date, Rya's common stock was selling for $36 per share, and the convertible preferred stock was selling for $27 per share. What amount of the proceeds should be allocated to Rya's convertible preferred stock?
Choice "c" is correct. $48,000 allocated to preferred. Rule: Allocate "issue proceeds" of a basket purchase or sale of convertible preferred stock based on relative fair market values: Allocated Shares $ Fair Value Basis Common stock 1000 x 36 = $36,000 $32,000 Preferred stock 2000 x 27 =54, 000 48,000 Total fair value $90,000 $80,000 Allocate to preferred: 54/90 x $80,000 = $48,000
Selected information from the accounts of Row Co. at December 31, Year 5, follows: Total income since incorporation $420,000 Total cash dividends paid 130,000 Total value of property dividends distributed 30,000 Excess of proceeds over cost of treasury stock sold, accounted for using the cost method 110,000 In its December 31, Year 5, financial statements, what amount should Row report as retained earnings?
Choice "a" is correct. Look at each item given and decide how it affects retained earnings: income since incorporation equals unadjusted ending retained earnings (RE), that is, current year income is included; cash dividends is a direct deduction from RE on the date of declaration; property dividends are deducted from RE at market value on the date of declaration; the excess proceeds from the sale of treasury stock is considered additional paid-in capital. Thus, ending RE = unadj. RE -cash dividends - property dividends = $420,000 - $130,000- $30,000 = $260,000. Choice "b" is incorrect. This amount does not include the effect of the property dividends. Property dividends are deducted from RE at market value on the date of declaration. Choice "c" is incorrect. This amount incorrectly includes the proceeds from the sale of the treasury stock. The cost method of accounting for treasury stock affects retained earnings only if the shares are sold below cost and the difference exceeds any additional paid-in capital from treasury stock.
Green Co. had the following equity transactions at December 31: Cash proceeds from sale of investment in Blue Co. (carrying value - $60,000) $75,000 Dividends received on Grey Co. stock 10,500 Common stock purchased from Brown Co. 38,000 What amount should Green recognize as net cash from investing activities in its statement of cash flows at December 31 under U.S. GAAP? a. $37,000 b. $47,500 c. $75,000 d. $85,500
Choice "a" is correct. Net cash from investing activities should include the cash received from the sale of the investment in Blue Co. offset by the cash paid to purchase the common stock from Brown Co.:$75,000 Cash proceeds from sale of Blue Co. (38,000) Cash paid to purchase Brown Co. common stock Net cash received from investing activities $37,000
In order for a financial instrument to be a derivative for accounting purposes, the financial instrument must: I. Have one or more underlyings. II. Require an initial net investment. a. I only. b. II only. c. Both I and 11. d. Neither I nor II.
Choice "a" is correct.

When computing the weighted average of common shares outstanding for basic earnings per share, convertible securities are: a. Ignored. b. Recognized whether they are dilutive or anti-dilutive. c. Recognized only if they are anti-dilutive. d. Recognized only if they are dilutive. Explanation
Choice "a" is correct. When computing basic earnings per share, convertible securities are ignored for purposes of computing the weighted average of common shares outstanding.

Choice "a" is correct. When the indirect method is used, a supplemental disclosure of cash paid for interest and income taxes is required. Tam will report total cash paid for interest and income taxes of $545,000 ($325,000 income taxes paid + $220,000 net interest payments).
Ute Co. had the following capital structure during Year 1 and Year 2: Preferred stock , $10 par, 4°/o cumulative, 25,000 shares issued and outstanding Common stock , $5 par, 200 ,000 shares issued and outstanding $250,000 1,000,000 Ute reported net income of $500,000 for the year ended December 31, Year 2.

Collection of a note receivable from a related party. c. Collection of an overdue account receivable from a customer. d. Collection of a tax refund from the government.
Choice "b" is correct. Loans to other entities and the consequent collection of the loans are reflected in the investing activity section of the cash flow statement.

Shares issuable upon exercise of a stock option. c. Shares issuable upon the passage of a specific period of time. d. Shares issuable upon the issuance of a patent.
Choice "b" is correct. Shares issuable upon the exercise of a stock option are not considered contingent shares as the option holder is required to pay the strike price to exercise the options.
When collectibility is reasonably assured, the excess of the subscription price over the stated value of the no par common stock subscribed should be recorded as: a. No par common stock. b. Additional paid-in capital when the subscription is recorded. c. Additional paid-in capital when the subscription is collected. d. Additional paid-in capital when the common stock is issued.
Choice "b" is correct. When collectibility is reasonably assured, the excess of the subscription price over the stated value of the no par common stock subscribed should be recorded as additional paid-in capital (APIC) when the subscription is received. Entry to record subscription of 1,000 shares of common stock ($5 stated value or par value) at a price of $18 with down payment of $3 per share: Cash (1,000 x $3) 3,000 Subscription received - c/s 15,000 Common stock subscribed (1,000 shs x $5) 5,000 Additional paid-in capital ($13 x 1,000) 13,000 Note: This is same "APIC" as if the stock had been fully paid for and issued.
Payne Co. prepares its statement of cash flows using the indirect method. Payne's unamortized bond discount account decreased by $25,000 during the year. How should Payne report the change in unamortized bond discount in its statement of cash flows? a. As a financing cash inflow. b. As a financing cash outflow. c. As an addition to net income in the operating activities section. d. As a subtraction from net income in the operating activities section
Choice "c" is correct. Amortization of bond discount is an income-related item; thus, it is almost automatically an operating activity, not a financing activity. That knocks out two of the answers. Because the amortization of the discount was originally subtracted to get to net income in the first place, it is added back to net income for an indirect method statement of cash flows.
On July 1 of the current year, Dewey Co. signed a 20-year building lease that it reported as a capital lease. Dewey paid the monthly lease payments when due. How should Dewey report the effect of the lease payments in the financing activities section of its statement of cash flows? a. An inflow equal to the present value of future lease payments at July 1, less current year principal and interest payments. b. An outflow equal to the current year principal and interest payments on the lease. c. An outflow equal to the current year principal payments only. d. The lease payments should not be reported in the financing activities section.
Choice "c" is correct. Cash payments made to reduce debt principal are properly reported as a financing activity. Cash interest payments would be reported as a component of cash from operating activities.
A change in the fair value of a derivative qualified as a cash flow hedge is determined to be either effective in offsetting a change in the hedged item or ineffective in offsetting such a change. How should the effective and ineffective portions of the change in value of a derivative which qualifies as a cash flow hedge be reported in financial statements? 1. Effective portion in ? 2. Ineffective portion in?
Choice "c" is correct. Changes in (gains and losses on) the effective portion of a cash flow hedge are deferred and reported in "other comprehensive income;" changes in the ineffective portion are reported in current income. Gains and losses which are deferred and reported in "other comprehensive income" must be reclassified and recognized in income in the period(s) in which the hedged item affects income.
In September, Year 1, West Corp. made a dividend distribution of one right for each of its 120,000 shares of outstanding common stock. Each right was exercisable for the purchase of 1/100 of a share of West's $50 variable rate preferred stock at an exercise price of $80 per share. On March 20, Year 5, none of the rights had been exercised, and West redeemed them by paying each stockholder $0.10 per right. As a result of this redemption, West's stockholders' equity was reduced by: a. $120 b. $2,400 c. $12,000 d. $36,000
Choice "c" is correct. In Year 1, no dividend was recorded since none of the rights were exercised and no value was assigned. In Year 5, redemption reduced equity by $12,000 [120,000 rights x $.10 per share].
How should a gain from the sale of used equipment for cash be reported in a statement of cash flows using the indirect method? a. In investment activities as a reduction of the cash inflow from the sale. b. In investment activities as a cash outflow. c. In operating activities as a deduction from income. d. In operating activities as an addition to income.
Choice "c" is correct. In a statement of cash flows using the indirect method, gain from the sale of used equipment for cash should be reported in operating activities as a deduction from income. Choice "a" is incorrect. In the investment activities section, cash inflow from the sale should be reported for the entire proceeds from the sale. Choice "b" is incorrect. In the investment activities section, cash outflows should be reported for purchases of fixed assets, stocks/bonds of other entities. Choice "d" is incorrect. In the operating activities section, "loss" from the sale of used equipment should be reported as an addition to income.
New England Co. had net cash provided by operating activities of $351 ,000; net cash used by investing activities of $420,000; and cash provided by financing activities of $250,000. New England's cash balance was $27 ,000 on January 1. During the year, there was a sale of land that resulted in a gain of $25,000 and proceeds of $40,000 were received from the sale. What was New England's cash balance at the end of the year? a. $27,000 b. $40,000 c. $208,000 d. $248,000
Choice "c" is correct. New England's cash balance at the end of the year includes the cash balance at the beginning of the year, the net cash provided by operating activities, the net cash used by investing activities, and the net cash provided by financing activities ($27,000 + $351,000 - $420,000 + $250,000 = $208,000). The sale of the land was included in the cash from the investing activities and does not have to be considered separately. When working this type of question, be sure to distinguish between the net cash used and the net cash provided
The following information is relevant to the computation of Chan Co.'s earnings per share to be disclosed on Chan's income statement for the year ending December 31: Net income for 2002 is $600,000. $5,000,000 face value 10-year convertible bonds outstanding on January 1. The bonds were issued four years ago at a discount which is being amortized in the amount of $20,000 per year. The stated rate of interest on the bonds is 9o/o, and the bonds were issued to yield10°/o. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 20 shares of Chan's common stock. Chan's corporate income tax rate is 25°/o. Chan has no preferred stock outstanding, and no other convertible securities. What amount should be used as the numerator in the fraction used to compute Chan's diluted earnings per share assuming that the bonds are dilutive securities? a. $130,000 b. $247,500 c. $952,500 d. $1,070,000
Choice "c" is correct. The numerator in the diluted EPS computation is equal to income available to common shareholders plus the after-tax interest expense that would not have been incurred if the bonds had been converted. Note that the company is using straight-line amortization rather than effective interest amortization. Under straight-line amortization, interest expense of $470,000 is reported each period. The interest expense is equal to the interest payment of $450,000 ($5,000,000 face x 9°/o stated rate) plus the discount amortization of $20,000. Therefore, the numerator is calculated as: Income available to common shareholders + Interest of dilutive securities = $600,000 + [$470,000 X (1 - 25°/o)] = $600,000 + $352,500 = $952,500
Under IFRS, interest received during a period is reported on the statement of cash flows in: a. Operating cash flow only. b. Investing cash flow only. c. Operating or investing cash flow. d. Operating or financing cash flow
Choice "c" is correct. Under IFRS, interest (and dividends) received may be reported in either operating cash flow or in investing cash flow. Under U.S. GAAP, interest (and dividends) received must be reported

Choice "d" is correct. $7.00 book value per common share. Preferred stock 250,000 Common stock 350,000 Additional paid-in capital 125,000 Retained earnings 300,000 Total stockholders equity 1,025,000 Less: PR stock interest (325,000)* 700,000 Total shares O/S / 100,000 Book value per share $ 7.00 * Par value preferred 250,000 Premium on preferred 50,000 Div. In arrears 25,000 Total preferred stock interest 325,000 Any preferred shareholder interest must be removed from shareholders' equity before computing book value per share.
On December 1 of the current year, Clay Co. declared and issued a 6o/o stock dividend on its 100,000 shares of outstanding common stock. There was no other common stock activity during the year. What number of shares should Clay use in determining basic earnings per share for the current year? a. 100,000 b. 100,500 c. 103,000 d. 106,000
Choice "d" is correct. A 6°/o stock dividend equals 6,000 shares with a total of 106,000 shares outstanding after the distribution of the dividend. Stock dividends and stock splits require restatement of the shares outstanding before the stock dividend or stock split. Thus, the stock dividend would be treated as if it had occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year
Instead of the usual cash dividend, Evie Corp. declared and distributed a property dividend from its overstocked merchandise. The excess of the merchandise's carrying amount over its market value should be: a. Ignored. b. Reported as a separately disclosed reduction of retained earnings. c. Reported as an extraordinary loss, net of income taxes. d. Reported as a reduction in income before extraordinary items.
Choice "d" is correct. A loss is recognized for the merchandise's carrying amount over its market value. This results in a reduction in income before extraordinary items. Rule: Dividends declared and paid in the form of assets other than cash are recorded by the distributing corporation at fair market value at date of declaration.
For the year ended December 31, Ion Corp. had cash inflows of $25,000 from the purchases, sales, and maturities of held-to-maturity securities and $40,000 from the purchases, sales, and maturities of availablefor- sale securities. What amount of net cash from investing activities should Ion report in its cash flow statement? a. $0 b. $25,000 c. $40,000 d. $65,000
Choice "d" is correct. Net cash from investing activities is $65,000 ($25,000 + $40,000) because investing activities include cash flows from both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity security transactions.
In a compensatory stock option plan for which the grant and exercise dates are different, the stock options outstanding account should be reduced at the: a. Date of grant. b. Beginning of the vesting period. c. Beginning of the service period. d. Exercise date.
Choice "d" is correct. Stock options outstanding are reduced at the exercise date. Choice "a" is incorrect. Stock options outstanding are increased at the date of grant. Choice "b" is incorrect. The beginning of the vesting period is not used. Choice "c" is incorrect. The beginning of the service period is the beginning of the period over which the compensation expense is amortized.
Mend Co. purchased a three-month U.S. Treasury bill. Mend's policy is to treat as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.

Choice "d" is correct. The U.S. Treasury bill is considered to be a cash equivalent item so purchasing the Tbill merely changes the form of cash held, it does not change the cash position of the entity. Thus, the purchase is not reported on the statement of cash flows.
On September 30 of the current year, a U.S. company entered into a futures contract to hedge the value of its inventory. The inventory was reported on the balance sheet at its cost of $250,000 on September 30. On December 31, the market value of the inventory had decreased to $175,000. The entity had a gain of $74,500 on the futures contract at December 31. What is the proper accounting for this hedging transaction on the December 31 year-end financial statements, assuming that the hedge is considered to be highly effective? a. Other comprehensive income will increase by $74,500. b. Other comprehensive income will decrease by $500. c. Net income will increase by $74,500. d. Net income will decrease by $500.
Choice "d" is correct. This hedge is classified as a fair value hedge because it is being used to hedge the value of the inventory. Therefore, the gain on the fair value hedge must be recognized in earnings, along with the loss on the inventory, for a net decrease in net income of $500: Gain on derivative= $74,500 Loss on inventory= $175,000 FV - $250,000 BV = $(75,000) Net loss on fair value hedge= $(75,000) loss+ $74,500 gain= $(500) loss
Under IFRS, dividends paid during a period are reported on the statement of cash flows in: a. Operating cash flow only. b. Financing cash flow only. c. Operating or investing cash flow. d. Operating or financing cash flow
Choice "d" is correct. Under IFRS, dividends paid may be reported in either operating cash flow or in financing cash flow. Under U.S. GAAP, dividends paid must be reported in financing cash flow because dividends are paid on equity and are not reported on the income statement.
Under IFRS, interest paid during a period is reported on the statement of cash flows in: a. Operating cash flow only. b. Financing cash flow only. c. Operating or investing cash flow. d. Operating or financing cash flow.
Choice "d" is correct. Under IFRS, interest paid may be reported in either operating cash flow or in financing cash flow. Under U.S. GAAP, interest paid must be reported only in operating cash flow because interest expense is reported on the income statement.
Redemption of bonds payable. [F] Financing activity. [I] Investing activity. [O] Operating activity.
Choice [F] is correct. FINANCING.
Deck Co. had 120,000 shares of common stock outstanding at January 1, Year 2. On July 1, Year 2, it issued 40,000 additional shares of common stock. Outstanding all year were 10,000 shares of nonconvertible cumulative preferred stock. What is the number of shares that Deck should use to calculate Year 2 earnings per share? a. 140,000 b. 150,000 c. 160,000 d. 170,000
Explanation Choice "a" is correct. 140,000 shares of common stock is the weighted average for earnings per share. The calculation is as follows: 1-1-Year 2: Outstanding all year120,000 7-1-Year 2: 40,000 issued x 6/12 Weighted average20,000 140,000
Grid Corp. acquired some of its own common shares at a price greater than both their par value and original issue price but less than their book value. Grid uses the cost method of accounting for treasury stock. What is the impact of this acquisition on total stockholders' equity and the book value per common share? Total stockholders' equity Book value per share
Decrease - Increase. The acquisition of treasury stock at a price less than their book value will: 1. Decrease stockholders' equity in total. All treasury stock transactions decrease total equity. 2. Increase book value per share. Book value per share is based on the number of outstanding common shares, which is reduced by the acquisition of treasury stock (the denominator is reduced). The numerator (book value) is also reduced by the cost to purchase the shares, but the overall effect on the ratio is an increase in book value per share. For example, if book value were $1,000 and there were 100 common shares, the book value per common share would be $10. If 10 shares were repurchased for $8 (which is less than the original book value per share), the new book value would be $920 and the reduced number of shares would be 90, thus, resulting in a new book value per common share of $10.22, which is larger than the original $10.
How would the declaration of a 15°/o stock dividend by a corporation affect each of the following? 1. Retained earnings 2. Total stockholders' equity
Decrease to retained earnings - No effect on shareholder's equity. Rule: A stock dividend (less than 20-25°/o of stock outstanding) is treated by transferring the FMV of the stock dividend at declaration date from retained earnings to capital stock and paid-in capital. There is no effect on total shareholder's equity because all transfers take place within shareholder's equity.
Question CPA-0544 Baker Co. issued 100,000 shares of common stock in the current year. On October 1, Baker repurchased 20,000 shares of its common stock on the open market for $50.00 per share. At that date, the stock's par value was $1.00 and the average issue price was $40.00 per share. Baker uses the cost method for treasury stock transactions. On December 1, Baker reissued the stock for $60.00 per share. What amount should Baker report as treasury stock gain at December 31? a. $0 b . $200,000 c. $400,000 d. $980,000
Explanation Choice "a" is correct. Corporations are not permitted to report income statement gains and losses from treasury stock transactions. Instead, treasury stock "gains and losses" are reported as direct adjustments to stockholders' equity. Gains are recorded by crediting APIC - Treasury Stock, while losses are recorded by first reducing any existing APIC - Treasury Stock to $0, and then debiting any additional loss to Retained Earnings. Baker's treasury stock transactions would be recorded as follows: 10/1 - Repurchase of Treasury Stock DR Treasury stock CR Cash 12/1 - Resell Treasury Stock DR Treasury stock $1,000 ,000 CR Cash $1,000,000 12/1 - Resell Treasury Stock DR Cash $1,200 ,000 CR Cash $1,000,000 12/1 - Resell Treasury Stock DR Cash $1,200 ,000 CR Treasury stock $1,000 ,000 CR APIC - Treasury stock 200,000
Universe Co. issued 500,000 shares of common stock in the current year. Universe declared a 30o/o stock dividend. The market value was $50 per share, the par value was $10, and the average issue price was $30 per share. By what amount will Universe decrease stockholders' equity for the dividend? a. $0 b. $1,500,000 c. $4,500,000 d. $7,500 ,000
Explanation Choice "a" is correct. The net effect on Universe's stockholders equity is zero, as the reduction to retained earnings is offset by an equal increase in common stock. Journal Entry: DR Retained earnings (.30 x 500,000 x $10) $1,500,000 CR Common stock ($10 per value) $1,500,000 Choices "b", "c", and "d" are incorrect, per the above.
Which of the following items, if dilutive and if other conditions are met, would enter into the determination of the weighted average shares outstanding to be used in the basic earnings per share (basic EPS) calculation? I. Stock options. II. Contingent shares. a. I only. b. II only. c. Both I and II. d. Neither I nor II
Explanation Choice "b" is correct. Contingent shares (that are dilutive) are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share (EPS) if (and as of the date) all conditions for issuance are met. Stock options do not enter into the calculation of basic EPS. Choices "a" and "c" are incorrect , because stock options do not enter into the calculation of the basic EPS, but will enter into the calculation of dilutive EPS if dilutive (i.e., the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the option).
Porter Co. began its business last year and issued 10,000 shares of common stock at $3 per share. The par value of the stock is $1 per share. During January of the current year, Porter bought back 500 shares at $6 per share, which were reported by Porter as treasury stock. The treasury stock shares were reissued later in the current year at $10 per share . Porter used the cost method to account for its equity transactions. What amount should Porter report as paid-in capital related to its treasury stock transactions on its balance sheet for the current year? a. $1,500 b. $2,000 c. $4,500 d. $20,000
Explanation Choice "b" is correct. Using the cost method , the treasury stock transactions include the reissuance of the treasury shares at $10 per share ($4 per share to APIC x 500 shares) , or $2,000. The additional paid-in capital from the original issuance of the stock is not paid-in capital related to the treasury stock and is not included.
West Co. had earnings per share of $15.00 for the current year before considering the effects of any convertible securities. No conversion or exercise of convertible securities occurred during the year. However, possible conversion of convertible bonds would have reduced earnings per share by $0.75. The effect of possible exercise of common stock options would have increased earnings per share by $0.10. What amount should West report as diluted earnings per share for the current year? a. $15.00 b. $14.35 c. $14.25 d. $15.10
Explanation Choice "c" is correct. $14.25 diluted earnings per share. EPS before the effect of any convertibles Possible conversion of bonds Diluted earnings per share Basic EPS $15.00 $15.00 Diluted EPS $15.00 (.75) $14.25 Note: The possible exercise of common stock options would increase EPS by $0.10, so they are not used due to the anti-dilution rule. Each potentially dilutive security is considered separately for its dilutive effect.
On December 1, Line Corp. received a donation of 2,000 shares of its $5 par value common stock from a stockholder. On that date, the stock's market value was $35 per share. The stock was originally issued for $25 per share. By what amount would this donation cause total stockholders' equity to decrease? a. $70,000 b. $50,000 c. $20,000 d. $0
Explanation Choice "d" is correct. $0 decrease in total stockholders' equity due to donation of its own stock from a stockholder because there is no cost to the corporation. The entry would be: DR Donated treasury stock(@ FMV) CR Additional paid-in capital (@ FMV) Both accounts enter into total stockholders' equity; therefore, there is no change in total stockholders' equity. When (if) the shares are reissued, the entry would be: DR Cash(@ sales price) DR Additional paid-in capital (for sp < carrying value) CR Donated treasury stock(@ carrying value) additional paid-in capital (for sp > carrying value)
At December 31, Year 1, Eagle Corp. reported $1,750,000 of appropriated retained earnings for the construction of a new office building, which was completed in Year 2 at a total cost of $1,500,000. In Year 2, Eagle appropriated $1,200,000 of retained earnings for the construction of a new plant. Also, $2,000,000 of cash was restricted for the retirement of bonds due in Year 3. In its Year 2 balance sheet, Eagle should report what amount of appropriated retained earnings? a. $1,200,000 b. $1,450,000 c. $2,950,000 d. $3,200,000
Explanation Rule: When the purpose of the appropriation has been achieved, it should be restored to unappropriated retained earnings. Choice "a" is correct. $1,200,000 appropriated retained earnings at Dec. 31, Year 2 (for the construction of a new plant only). Choices "b" and "c" are incorrect. When the new ($1,500,000) office building was completed in Year 2, $1,750,000 was restored to unappropriated retained earnings. Choice "d" is incorrect. "Cash restricted for the retirement of bonds" (an asset account called "sinking fund cash") typically reduces regular cash and does not affect retained earnings. (There may also be an appropriation, but this would have to be specifically mentioned in the question.)
Cash flow Statement under IFRS Cash dividends paid, under U.S. GAAP. [F] Financing activity. [I] Investing activity. [O] Operating activity.
FINANCING. Under IFRS, cash dividends paid may be classified as a financing activity or an operating activity.
Posy Corp. acquired treasury shares at an amount greater than their par value, but less than their original issue price. Compared to the cost method of accounting for treasury stock, does the par value method report a greater amount for additional paid-in capital and a greater amount for retained earnings? Additional paid-in capital Retained earnings
No - No. Compared to the cost method for reporting treasury stock, the par value method will report a lower amount for additional paid-in capital (APIC) and the same amount for retained earnings. The easiest way to solve this problem is to make a set of assumptions consistent with the facts and record the proper entries. Assumptions: Original issue$100 Acquisition cost$80 Par value$60 Cost method DR CR Treasury stock 80 Cash 80 Par value method DR CR Treasury stock 60 APIC 20 Cash 80 Note: The only difference is that a portion of the debit is transferred from treasury stock to APIC, thereby reducing the credit balance of APIC.
Stock dividends on common stock should be recorded at their fair market value by the investor when the related investment is accounted for under which of the following methods? Cost Equity
No - No. Rule: Stock dividends and stock splits are not considered income to the recipient. Therefore, investors do not record stock dividends at fair market value. They simply reallocate the investment account balance (under either method -- cost or equity) over more shares so that value per share decreases.
On January 31, Year 2, Pack, Inc. split its common stock 2 for 1, and Young, Inc. issued a 5% stock dividend. Both companies issued their December 31, Year 1, financial statements on March 1, Year 2. Should Pack's Year 1 earnings per share (EPS) take into consideration the stock split, and should Young's Year 1 EPS take into consideration the stock dividend?
Rule: If stock dividend or a stock split (or reverse split) changes common stock outstanding , the computation of EPS shall give retroactive recognition for all periods presented using the new number of shares because the reader's primary interest is presumed to be related to current capitalization.
On January 1, Year 1, Lord Corp. granted stock options for 10,000 shares at $38 per share as additional compensation for services to be rendered over the next three years. Using an acceptable option pricing model, Lord calculated total compensation cost of $90,000. The options are exercisable during a 4-year period beginning January 1, Year 4, by grantees still employed by Lord. Market price of Lord's stock was $47 per share at the grant date. No stock options were terminated during Year 1. In Lord's Year 1 income statement, what amount should be reported as compensation expense pertaining to the options? a. $90,000 b. $40,000 c. $30,000 d. $0
The compensation should be allocated over the period for which the services are performed. Fair value of options at grant date $90,000 Services for 3 years 3 Compensation expense - Year 1 $30,000
Ole Corp. declared and paid a liquidating dividend of $100,000. This distribution resulted in a decrease in Ole's: Paid-in capital Retained earnings
Yes - No. By definition, a liquidating dividend is one in which the company is returning a portion of capital originally contributed to the company in excess of retained earnings. A (pure) "liquidating dividend" implies there is no "retained earnings" left to decrease.
