SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Large corporations are often said to be publicly owned because they are literally owned by the general public. The capital stock of many large corporations is actively traded on organized stock exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Anyone may purchase an ownership interest in such corporations, even if that interest is but a single share of capital stock. Many large corporations have hundreds of thousands, even millions, of individual stockholders. 2. a. Owners liability for debts of the business. Sole proprietors are personally liable for the debts of the business. A corporation, however, is responsible for its own debts; the stockholders of a corporation are not personally liable for the debts of the business entity. Thus, the amount of money that a stockholder might lose by investing in a corporation is limited to the amount of his or her investment. b. Transferability of ownership interest. A sole proprietor generally must sell his or her entire interest in the business. This creates a new business owned by a new sole proprietor. Shares of stock in a corporation are freely transferable. c. Continuity of existence. A sole proprietorship is terminated upon sale or abandonment by the owner and upon that persons death or incapacitation. Corporations continue in existence regardless of changes in ownership. d. Federal taxation on income. A corporation is subject to federal income tax on its income, and stockholders are also subject to a personal income tax on any amounts they receive as dividends. A sole proprietorship is not a taxable entity, but the owner must pay personal taxes on the income earned by the business, whether or not it is actually withdrawn by the owner. 3 Paid-in capital of a corporation represents the amount invested by stockholders and is generally not available for dividends. Retained earnings represents the cumulative amount of net income not distributed to shareholders as dividends. The distinction between paid-in capital and retained earnings is useful because it shows how much of the total stockholders equity represents investments by the owners and how much has been accumulated through profitable operations since the company started in business. 4. Par value represents the legal capital per share, that is, the amount below which stockholders equity cannot be reduced except by losses. The primary significance of par value is that a corporation cannot declare a dividend if this action would reduce total stockholders equity below the par value of the outstanding stock. Par value is not an indication of a fair market price for a share of stock. The market price of stock is determined by such factors as the profitability and solvency of the issuing company, interest rates, the amount of dividends paid by the stock, and general market conditions. The market price of a share of stock may be above or below its par value. 5. a. Cumulative means that unpaid dividends on preferred stock are carried forward and must be fully paid before any dividends can be paid on common stock. b. Convertible means that each share of preferred stock may be returned to the corporation in exchange for a given number of shares of common stock under specified conditions.

The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2012 Q1-5

6. Noncumulative preferred stock is entitled to dividends only if and when they are declared. If noncumulative preferred dividends had not been declared for several years, it would be possible to declare only the current years dividends on preferred and then declare a dividend on common. Noncumulative preferred stock does not have the protection afforded by the cumulative requirements that any dividends in arrears must be paid before dividends can be paid on common. This means a weak form of dividend preference, and as a result the noncumulative feature is not attractive to most investors. 7. (a) Cash is classified as an asset; (b) Organization Costs typically are classified as an expense; (c) Preferred Stock, (d) Retained Earnings, and (e) Additional Paid-in Capital are all classified as stockholders equity accounts; (f) Income Taxes Payable is classified as a liability. 8 Book value per share represents the amount of net assets (or stockholders equity) associated with each share of common stock. It is determined by dividing the total stockholders equity in the corporation, less the amount assigned to preferred stock (par value, or liquidation value if given, plus dividends in arrears) by the number of common shares outstanding. Book value does not represent the amount common stockholders would receive in the event of liquidation. If a corporation were liquidated, many assets would be sold at prices different from their carrying values in the accounting records. The resulting gains or losses would cause stockholders equity to change accordingly. 9. a. When a corporation obtains a bank loan there is no effect upon book value per share of common stock. Assets and liabilities both increase by the amount of the loan. Net assets, therefore, are unchanged. Declaration of a dividend reduces book value per share. Total assets are not affected by the declaration of a dividend, but liabilities are increased. Net assets (stockholders equity), therefore, are decreased.

b.

10. A change in the market price of IBMs outstanding shares of capital stock has no effect upon IBMs balance sheet. These shares belong to IBMs stockholders, not to IBM. Therefore, a change in the market value of these shares has no effect upon the recorded amounts of IBMs assets, liabilities, or stockholders equity. IBMs paid-in capital accounts will continue to show the amount received by IBM at the time the capital stock was issued. This historical amount is not affected by subsequent changes in market price. 11. The purpose of a stock split is to reduce the per-share market price of the companys stock down to a more appropriate trading rangethat is, a price that is appealing to a greater number of potential investors.

12. Treasury stock is corporate stock that has been issued and then reacquired by the issuing company. One reason for acquiring treasury stock is to have stock available to issue to officers and employees under profit-sharing agreements, stock options, or bonus plans. Purchases of treasury stock may also be intended to support the market price of the stock or to increase earnings per share. Treasury stock is not an asset; it represents a reduction in the amount of stockholders investment in the corporation. For this reason the cost of the treasury shares is reported in the balance sheet as a reduction of the stockholders equity. 13. The purpose of this rule is to protect corporate creditors, for whom stockholders equity represents the margin of safety against loss from a shrinkage of asset values. The restriction of retained earnings for dividend purposes to the extent of the cost of treasury shares assures creditors that the stockholders equity of a corporation will not, as a result of the purchase of treasury shares, be reduced below the amount of paid-in capital. If this restriction were not imposed, a corporation might distribute assets equal to the entire amount of its retained earnings as dividends, and then distribute additional assets in payment for shares of its own stock, thereby reducing the net assets of the corporation below the amount of the paid-in capital or even below the amount of stated (legal) capital. 14. The major types of transactions and activities that change the amount of paid-in capital and the direction of that change are as follows: Direction of change Transaction/activity Increase Sale of capital stock Decrease Purchase of treasury stock Increase Sale of treasury stock None* Stock split *A stock split increases the number of shares of stock and lowers the market price of that stock, but does not affect the total amount of paid-in capital. 15. No definitive answer can be given to this question because a case can be made for having preferred stock and for not having preferred stock. Similarly, if preferred stock is included in the capital structure, a case can be made for different features, primarily whether the dividend is cumulative or not. Following are comments under different assumptions about the desirability of preferred stock. Include preferred stockPreferred stock offers investors an opportunity to invest on what may be a more predictable and secure basis than common stock. While dividends are not guaranteed, they are more predictable than on common stock, particularly for a new company. Some investors may be willing to invest in preferred stock while they would not be willing to accept the greater uncertainty and risk of common stock. This may be a factor in designing the companys capital structure in light of the capital requirements of the new company. Do not include preferred stockThe presence of preferred stock may make common stock less attractive in light of the dividend preference of preferred stock. Once the company is up and running, preferred stock may be undesirable in terms of the long-term capital structure of the company. Features of preferred stockAssuming preferred stock is included in the capital structure, the most important decision is whether the dividend is cumulative. If the dividend is cumulative, the preferred stock is more attractive to investors, but it detracts from the attractiveness of the common stock. The lack of the cumulative feature may make preferred stock a relatively weak investment alternative and effectively defeat the purpose of including preferred stock in the capital structure.

Dividends on arrears on preferred stock for three years are calculated as follows: 100,000 shares x $100 par value x 6% dividend rate x 3 years = $1,800,000 The amount of dividends in arrears must be disclosed in the financial statements, but they are not formally included as a liability in the balance sheet until declared by the Board of Directors of the company.

If the preferred stock is cumulative, the entire dividend goes to preferred stock and the common stockholders will receive none of the $120,000 dividends declared. In fact, satisfaction of the full claim of the preferred stockholders in this case will require $320,000, determined as follows: 10,000 x $100 par x 8% x 4 years = $320,000

B.Ex. 11.6

The book value on common stock is calculated by adding all stockholders' equity accounts together and dividing by the number of shares of common stock outstanding: ($1,000,000 + $750,000 + $600,000)/100,000 shares = $23.50 This amount does not reflect the current market value of the stock. Instead, it reflects a per-share amount of the assets, less liabilities, included in the company's balance sheet.

B.Ex. 11.8

The stock split will double the number of shares outstanding from 100,000 to 200,000. It will reduce the market price of the stock to approximately half of its current price: $50 x 1/2 = $25. The split will have no impact on the total stockholders' equity attributable to common stock. While the number of shares will double, the par value will be reduced to half, or $5 per share, leaving the total stockholders' equity attributable to common stock unchanged.

Ex. 11.1 a. (1) Organizing the scuba diving school as a sole proprietorship. Advantages: (a) Easy to form (b) No double taxation on distributed earnings Disadvantages: Personal liability of owner for debts of the business (a) Business ceases with death of owner (b) (2) Organizing the scuba diving school as a corporation. Advantages: No personal liability of owners for debts of the business (a) Readily transferable ownership shares (b) Continuous existence (c) Disadvantages: Double taxation on distributed earnings (a) Greater regulation (b) b. A corporation would probably be the better form of organization because of the characteristic of limited liability of the owners. Potentially, a scuba diving student could be seriously injured in the class. With the sole proprietorship form of organization, your personal assets would be at risk to pay for the persons injuries, after you exhausted any insurance coverage and assets that the business might have.

$ 13.50 per share $ 12.00 per share $ 0.25 per share

The stockholders equity section of the balance sheet reports no additional paid-in capital. Thus, the preferred shares must have been issued at their respective par values ($50 per share for the 9% cumulative preferred stock, and $100 per share for the noncumulative preferred stock). 150,000 shares ($15,000,000 total par value, divided by $100 par value per share)

c. No. The book value per share represents the stockholders share of the net book value of the corporations assets, not the assets liquidation values. The stockholders may receive more or less than the book value per share if the corporation is liquidated, depending primarily on the amounts at which the corporations assets are sold. Ex. 11.9 a.

b. Restriction of retained earnings for treasury stock owned at year-end: $175,000 (7,000 shares still owned x $25 per share cost). c. No, a restriction on retained earnings does not affect the total amount of retained earnings reported in the balance sheet. A restriction of retained earnings is disclosed, but does not reduce the total amount of retained earnings of a company. The restriction on retained earnings simply limits the amount of dividends the corporation can pay as long as it holds treasury stock.

Ex. 11.10

a. Had the stock been split 2-for-1, it would begin trading at approximately $40 per share immediately after the split ($80 2 = $40). b. Had the stock been split 4-for-1, it would begin trading at approximately $20 per share immediately after the split ($80 4 = $20). c. When the market price of a corporations common stock appreciates in value significantly, as it had in the case of Fido Corporation, it may become too expensive for many investors. Thus, the decision to split the companys stock was probably made with the intent of making it more affordable to investors.

Ex. 11.11

a. Companies sometimes purchase shares of their own common stock to help boost the market price per share. This practice is not generally considered unethical, given that information pertaining to the purchase is fully disclosed in the companys financial statements. Furthermore, if the company acquires a significantly large amount of its outstanding stock, the event would be reported in the financial press. b. For a company to classify its treasury stock as a short-term investment is not appropriate. When treasury stock is purchased, the corporation is actually reducing its assets (cash), and eliminating part of its stockholders equity. For this reason, treasury stock should not appear in the balance sheet as a current asset.

Ex. 11.12

a. Carnival Corporation could sell approximately 1,340 million additional shares. This figure is determined by subtracting the number of issued shares from the number of authorized shares 1,960 million 620 million = 1,340 million. b. Authorized, but unissued, shares do not represent an asset of the company. At some time in the future they may result in an increase in assets if they are issued for cash or other assets, but until that time they simply represent the potential for future increases in assets. They are not included in the companys balance sheet, other than through disclosure of the numbers of authorized and issued shares. This permits the reader of the financial statements to calculate the number of authorized, but unissued shares, as was done above.

A corporation might decide to use cumulative preferred stock rather than debt to finance operations for any of the following reasons (only 2 required): 1. Although cumulative dividends must eventually be paid if the corporation is profitable, they do not have to be paid each year and do not become a legal obligation of the corporation until they are declared. Interest on debt is a legal obligation of the corporation and must be paid each year. 2. Debt must be repaid at some future date. To be a permanent source of capital, debt must be periodically refinanced. Preferred stock generally does not mature. 3. Increasing the amount of debt on a balance sheet can adversely affect financial ratios.

e. The basic advantage of being publicly owned is that the corporation has the opportunity to raise large amounts of equity capital from many investors. Some publicly owned corporations have millions of stockholders, including pension funds, mutual funds, and other corporations. Closely held corporations are usually unable to raise the large amounts of capital available to publicly owned corporations. A major advantage to the stockholders of a publicly owned corporation is that their equity investments are highly liquid assets, immediately salable at quoted market prices. The primary disadvantages of being publicly owned are the increased governmental regulations and financial reporting requirements. f. The term convertible means that at the option of the preferred stockholder, each preferred share can be converted into a specified number of common shares. To evaluate the value of this conversion feature, the stockholder must know into how many shares of common each preferred share can be converted. This information is disclosed in the notes accompanying the corporations financial statements. At $248 per share, Parson's preferred has a dividend yield of 6.9% ($17.20 $248). In comparison, an 8%, $50 par preferred selling at $57 has a dividend yield of 7% [(8% x $50 par) $57]. The dividend yield on preferred stock indicates how much investors value certain features of the stock. The lower the yield, the more investors favor the stock. A higher yield means that investors demand a higher return to induce them to purchase the stock. The two principal factors that cause one preferred to yield less than another are: (1) the appearance of greater ability to pay the preferred dividends each year, and (2) special features that appeal to investors, such as Parsons conversion feature, cumulative dividends, or a high call price.

PROBLEM 11.7A TECHNO CORPORATION

a.

Par value is the legal capital per sharethe amount by which stockholders equity cannot be reduced except by losses. Thus, par value may be viewed as a minimum cushion of equity capital existing for the protection of creditors. Book value per share is equal to the net assets represented by each share of common stock. Book value is a historical cost concept, representing the amounts invested by the stockholders, plus the amounts earned and retained by the corporation. By comparing book value with current market value, stockholders may gain insight into whether management has increased or diminished the value of the resources entrusted to their care. The market value of a share of stock is established in the marketplace. It represents the pershare price at which willing sellers can and will sell shares of the stock to willing buyers. Market value is related primarily to investors future expectations of the companys performance, rather than to historical amounts.

b.

The companys par valueone-tenth of a cent per shareis quite low. However, the corporation can set par value at any level that it chooses; the amount of par value has no direct effect upon either book value or market value. It does mean, however, that the amount of the companys legal capitalserving as a cushion for creditorsis quite low. Another reason for the small par value is the possibility of stock splits in the past. The fact that book value per share ($6.50) is far above par value indicates either that (1) the stock initially was issued at a price far above par value, or (2) that the company has retained substantial amounts of earnings. Even if there had been stock splits in prior years, the total dollar amount of book value would not have been affected. The market value of $65 is 10 times book value. This implies that investors believe that management and product lines make the company worth far more than the amounts of capital historically invested. The very low par value offers little protection to the companys creditors. On the other hand, a market value of many times book value implies that little cushion is required for creditors claims to be secure. If the company performs as its market price implies that it will, its earnings and cash flows should make the creditors positions quite secure. Earnings and cash flows are far more relevant to a companys debt-paying ability than is the cushion provided by par value.

Interest on debt is a legal obligation of the corporation and must be paid each year. 2. Debt must be repaid at some future date. To be a permanent source of capital, debt must be periodically refinanced. Preferred stock generally does not mature. 3. Increasing the amount of debt on a balance sheet can adversely affect financial ratios.

PROBLEM 11.6B TOASTY CORPORATION (concluded)

e. The basic advantage of being publicly owned is that the corporation has the opportunity to raise large amounts of equity capital from many investors. Some publicly owned corporations have millions of stockholders, including pension funds, mutual funds, and other corporations. Closely held corporations are usually unable to raise the large amounts of capital available to publicly owned corporations. A major advantage to the stockholders of a publicly owned corporation is that their equity investments are highly liquid assets, immediately salable at quoted market prices. The primary disadvantages of being publicly owned are the increased governmental regulations and financial reporting requirements. f. The term convertible means that at the option of the preferred stockholder, each preferred share can be converted into a specified number of common shares. To evaluate the value of this conversion feature, the stockholder must know into how many shares of common each preferred share can be converted. This information is disclosed in the notes accompanying the corporations financial statements. At $190 per share, Toastys preferred has a dividend yield of 5.26% ($10 $190). In comparison, a 6%, $50 par preferred selling at $52 has a dividend yield of 5.77% [(6% x $50 par) $52]. The dividend yield on preferred stock indicates how much investors value certain features of the stock. The lower the yield, the more investors favor the stock. A higher yield means that investors demand a higher return to induce them to purchase the stock. The two principal factors that cause one preferred to yield less than another are: (1) the appearance of greater ability to pay the preferred dividends each year, and (2) special features that appeal to investors, such as Toastys conversion feature, cumulative dividends, or a high call price.

PROBLEM 11.7B BRAIN CORPORATION

a.

Par value is the legal capital per sharethe amount by which stockholders equity cannot be reduced except by losses. Thus, par value may be viewed as a minimum cushion of equity capital existing for the protection of creditors. Book value per share is equal to the net assets represented by each share of common stock. Book value is a historical cost concept, representing the amounts invested by the stockholders, plus the amounts earned and retained by the corporation. By comparing book value with current market value, stockholders may gain insight into whether management has increased or diminished the value of the resources entrusted to their care. The market value of a share of stock is established in the marketplace. It represents the pershare price at which willing sellers can and will sell shares of the stock to willing buyers. Market value is related primarily to investors future expectations of the companys performance, rather than to historical amounts.

b.

The companys par valuefive cents per shareis quite low. However, the corporation can set par value at any level that it chooses; the amount of par value has no direct effect upon either book value or market value. It does mean, however, that the amount of the companys legal capitalserving as a cushion for creditorsis quite low. Another reason for the small par value is the possibility of stock splits in prior years. The fact that book value per share ($10.00) is far above par value indicates either that (1) the stock initially was issued at a price far above par value, or (2) that the company has retained substantial amounts of earnings. Even if there had been stock splits in prior years, the total dollar amount of book value would not have been affected. The market value of $96 is 9.6 times book value. This implies that investors believe that management and product lines make the company worth far more than the amounts of capital historically invested. The very low par value offers little "cushion" to the companys creditors. On the other hand, a market value of many times book value implies that little cushion is required for creditors claims to be secure. If the company performs as its market price implies that it will, its earnings and cash flows should make the creditors positions quite secure. Earnings and cash flows are far more relevant to a companys debt-paying ability than is the cushion provided by par value.

CASE 11.1 FACTORS AFFECTING THE MARKET PRICES OF PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCKS

a. The market price of the 10%, $100 par value preferred stock may be expected to decline gradually as long-term interest rates rise. The market price of preferred stock tends to vary inversely with the level of interest rates. b. If ADMs profitability increases dramatically, the market price of its common stock probably will rise significantly. The improved profitability of the company may lead to larger increases in the dividends paid to common stockholders than the 5 and 10 cent increases of prior years. The market price of common stock is strongly affected by such factors as the companys expected future earnings and the probable rate of future common stock dividends. c. The market price of the 7%, $100 par value convertible preferred stock should rise approximately in proportion to the increase in the market value of the common stock. This issue of preferred stock is already deriving much of its market value from its conversion feature, as indicated by the fact that its market price ($125) exceeds the market price of ADMs 10% preferred stock ($90), which pays a higher dividend. The current market price of the convertible preferred stock is too high to be explained by its $7 per year dividend, and it is approximately three times the current market price of the common stock. Therefore, each share of this preferred stock probably is convertible into about three shares of common stock. As the market price of the common stock increases, the market price of the convertible preferred should also increase to remain approximately equal in value to three shares of common stock.

CASE 11.2 FACTORS AFFECTING THE MARKET PRICES OF COMMON STOCKS

a.

The value of a share of common stock is based on investors expectations about future earnings and cash flows of the business. Thus, the increase in the price of the shares of McDonnell Douglas resulted from an increase in investors expectations about future earnings of the company based on this large order by Saudia Airlines. The fall in the price of Citicorps common stock probably is based on two factors. The increase in the discount rate by the Federal Reserve Board signals a general increase in interest rates which will affect the required yield on all investments. Since investors will demand a higher yield on their investments, stock and bond prices may suffer an overall decline. As a financial institution, this increase in the discount rate has additional significance to Citicorp. The increase in the discount rate increases Citicorps cost of funds, which will reduce its net income, at least in the short run. This reduction in expectations about future earnings will further reduce the banks stock price.

b.

c.

The visit by the Federal Drug Administration signaled to the market that Ventitex may be having problems with approval for one or more of its products. If approval is denied, the company will not be able to sell the products. Therefore, investors are reducing their expectations of the companys future earnings and increasing their assessments of the risk of the business. This caused the stock price to drop.

CASE 11.3 SELECTING A FORM OF ORGANIZATION

We do not provide comprehensive solutions for group problems that involve interviews. But the following items normally come to light in our classes. Students may find that many people entered a business without giving much thought to the form of entity. Among the unforeseen complications that often come to light are the problems when partners do not see eye to eye, and the costs and complications resulting from the corporation being a taxable entity. The normal reason why a business may change its form of entity is to attract more capital. Some students may encounter professional corporations, which often are used by one or more members of a partnership. These professional corporations are intended to limit the individuals personal liabilityalthough they require the individual to carry malpractice insurance and do not exonerate them from liability for some types of professional misconduct. They may also encounter S corporations, which, for tax purposes, are treated as unincorporated organizations.

(a) The four divisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission are: Corporate Finance Enforcement Investment Management Market Regulation (b) The Division of Enforcement investigates possible violations of securities laws, recommends Commission action when appropriate, either in a federal court or before an administrative law judge, and negotiates settlements. (c) The publication is Pump & Dump.com: Tips for Avoiding Stock Scams on the Internet. (d) A pump & dump scheme works as follows. A company's web site may feature a glowing press release about its financial performance or some other aspect of the company, such as a new product or innovation. Newsletters that purport to offer unbiased recommendations may tout the company as the latest "hot" stock. Messages in chat rooms and bulletin board postings urge people to buy stock quickly or to sell before the price goes down. Uninformed investors then purchase the stock in large numbers, pushing up the price of the stock. Then the fraudsters behind the scheme sell their shares at the peak price and stop hyping the stock, which results in a rapid drop in stock price. Investors lose some or all of their investment. The S.E.C. suggests investors consider the following to avoid such schemes: Consider the source Find out where the stock trades Independently verify the claims that are made about the stock Research the investment opportunity Watch out for high-pressure pitches to invest Always be skeptical
