What is meant by dilution in EPS? When would a potential common share instrument be considered antidilutive?

Dilution is a reduction in earnings per share resulting from making assumptions that outstanding options are exercised and convertible instruments are converted. An instrument is antidilutive if assuming exercise or conversion increases earnings per share or reduces a loss per share.

Explain what the following terms used with respect to company stock mean: Authorized shares, issued shares, outstanding shares, and treasury stock.

The total shares authorized is the maximum number of shares of capital stock a company can issue as determined by its corporate charter. Issued shares are the number of shares of capital stock that have been legally issued by a company to third parties as of a specific date. Outstanding shares is the number of shares of issued stock still held by third party stockholders as of a specific date. Treasury stock is the number of shares of issued stock that have been repurchased but not retired. The difference between the number of shares issued and the number of outstanding shares is the number of shares of treasury stock.

In determining diluted earnings per share, if the company has convertible debt outstanding that is dilutive, what effect does the year's interest expense on that debt have on the computation? a. No effect. It is ignored in the diluted earnings per share computation as it is already included in net income. b. Interest expense net of taxes is added back to net income in the computation of diluted earnings per share. c. Interest expense is added back to net income in the computation of diluted earnings per share. d. Interest expense net of taxes is added to net income in the computation of diluted earnings per share only if the convertible debt is considered a common stock equivalent.

What is legal capital and how does it relate to stocks that have par value, stated value, or no par value?

A corporation's legal capital is the amount of stockholders' equity that cannot be distributed to stockholders under state law. Generally this amount is expected to be fully paid in at issuance. The corporation may not make dividend distributions or treasury stock purchases that would impair the company's legal capital. For stocks with a par or stated value, the legal capital is generally the stock's par value or stated value. For no par stocks, the legal capital can be the entire amount of proceeds from the stock's issuance, if there is no stated value. If shares are sold for less than the company's par value, then shareholders can be assessed for later to make up the deficiency between the issue price and the par value. Legal capital was originally intended partially as a protection for creditors.

What do the following terms related to preferred stock mean? Dividend preference, cumulative dividends, a participating preferred, convertible preferred, callable preferred, redeemable preferred.

A dividend preference is the right to a dividend of a predetermined amount before dividends are paid to common stockholders. Cumulative refers to the right of preferred stockholders to unpaid preferred dividends of previous years and the current year before a distribution of dividends may be made to common stockholders. Participating preferred stockholders share with common stockholders in any dividends dependent on the participation terms. Convertible preferred stock may be exchanged at the stockholders' option usually into common stock. Callable preferred stock can be called from the holders at a predetermined price. Redeemable preferred stock is either subject to mandatory redemption at a specified price on a specified future maturity date or is redeemable at the option of the holder.

How is total compensation cost for compensatory stock options computed and how much is recognized as expense each period?

The compensatory stock option plans are accounted for using the fair value method. If the award is considered an equity award then the total compensation cost is determined at the grant date as the fair value of the award adjusted for expected forfeitures. This estimated total compensation amount is revised each period for changes in estimated forfeitures. The compensation expense is generally recognized over the service period of the employees based on a method that is consistent with the vesting terms. The final total compensation represents the grant date fair value of the awards that vest. If the award is a liability award, for example a stock appreciation right, the value of the award is adjusted every period to reflect the changes in fair value until settlement.

Explain the difference between the cost method and the par value methods of accounting for treasury stock.

Under the cost method, a corporation reports treasury stock as a contra equity account deducted from total shareholder's equity before treasury stock. The purchase of treasury stock is recorded at its cost in the treasury stock account and when treasury shares are reissued they are removed from the treasury stock account at their cost. Under the par value method, the company reports the treasury stock account as a contra account to the related common stock account that has been repurchased. Upon purchase of treasury shares the treasury stock account is debited for the shares par value only. When treasury shares are reissued the shares are moved from the treasury stock account at their par value.

Explain the difference in accounting for large and small common stock dividends.

A stock dividend less than 20 to 25% of the previously outstanding shares is considered a small stock dividend. A stock dividend of more than 20%-25% of the previously outstanding shares is considered a large stock dividend. Neither a small nor a large stock dividend changes the amount of total stockholders' equity, although both affect the distribution of stockholders' equity to different equity accounts. For a small stock dividend, an amount equal to the fair value of the new shares is transferred from retained earnings to common stock and additional paid in capital on the date of declaration. For a large stock dividend, an amount equal to the par value of the newly issued shares is transferred from retained earnings to common stock on the date of declaration.

No increment. The options are antidilutive.

What is a simple capital structure versus a complex capital structure? If a company has a simple capital structure how is earnings per share computed?

A simple capital structure is one that has only of common stock outstanding (or if it has preferred stock, such stock is not convertible). A company with a simple capital structure (assuming it is a public company) must present basic earnings per share on its income statement. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income minus preferred dividends, if any, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

What is the difference between the treasury stock and the if-converted methods used in computing diluted earnings per share?

The treasury stock method is used for computing the incremental effect in diluted earnings per share of assuming exercise of options, warrants, and similar instruments. The incremental number of shares arises from assuming the options are exercised at the exercise price and then the assumed proceeds are used to buy back company stock at the average market price for the period. The difference between the assumed issued and assumed repurchased shares is the incremental shares added to the denominator for diluted EPS purposes. The if-converted method is applied to convertible instruments and is calculated by assuming the instrument is converted at the beginning of the period or at the date when issued, if later. The if-converted method assumes that for a convertible preferred stock, the preferred stock dividend is not paid, or for convertible debt the interest expense net of tax is not paid, since the instrument is assumed converted at the beginning of the period. So in the computation, the preferred stock dividend or net of tax interest expense is added back to the numerator of basic EPS and the number of shares that would have been issued if the instrument had converted at the beginning of the period (or when issued if later) is added to the denominator of basic EPS.
