What are two reasons a corporation would buy back its stock?
• Viewed as a way to “distribute” company profits without paying dividends
• Decreasing the supply of shares in the marketplace supports (or enhances)
the price of remaining shares
• Increase earnings per share
• Purchase of a company’s own shares does not create an asset (nor a gain or
loss), so can buy low and sell high
• Taxed at lower capital gains rate for shareholders, vs. dividends as ordinary
income rate
• To offset the increase in shares issued to employees in compensation plans
• To use in mergers and acquisition
• Can thwart takeover attempts (by keeping shares in treasury stock)

– Arise from the company buying back some of those
shares or
– From share-based compensation activities
Retained Earnings
• Earnings accumulated on behalf of the shareholders and not
(yet) distributed as dividends

Types of Businesses
Copyright © 2018 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.
The Corporate Organization—Advantages
Limited Liability
• A corporation is a separate legal entity, responsible for its own
debts
– The owners are not personally liable for debts of a
corporation
• Shareholders’ liability is limited to the amounts they invest in
the company when they purchase shares
Ease of Raising Capital and Ownership Transfer
• Corporations sell ownership interest in the form of shares of
stock and hence ownership rights are easily transferred

The Corporate Organization—Disadvantages
Copyright © 2018 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.
Types of Corporations
• Not-for-profit corporations may be owned:
– By the public sector
– By a governmental unit
Examples: Churches, hospitals, universities, and charities; Government-
owned—like the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
• Corporations organized for profit may be:
– Publicly held: Stock of publicly held corporations is available for
purchase by the general public
– Privately held: Shares are owned by only a few individuals (perhaps a
family) and are not available to the general public
• Frequently, companies begin as privately held corporations and then go
public. Example: Facebook
Copyright © 2018 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.
Hybrid Organizations
Have characteristics of both regular corporations and partnerships
Limited liability companies
• Owners are not liable for the debts of the business, except to the extent
of their investment (i.e. stock ownership)
• All members can be involved with managing the business without losing
liability protection
• Income and expenses (and taxes on the net) are passed through Double
to the owners as in a partnership taxation
avoided.
• There are no limitations on the number of owners
Limited liability partnerships
• Partners are liable for their own actions but not entirely liable for the
actions of other partners

LO18-3
Your goal is not to learn diverse procedures caused by peculiarities of state laws, but to
understand the broad concepts of accounting for shareholders’ equity that can be applied to any
specific circumstance.

Distinguishing Classes of Shares
Copyright © 2018 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.
Typical Rights of Preferred Shares
Often, shares with certain preferences or features that distinguish
them from common shares are designated as preferred shares
Preferred shareholders sometimes have the right of conversion to common stock, a redemption
privilege (option to return shares), or may be redeemed/called by the corporation
Copyright © 2018 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.
Preferred Stock Dividends
• Usually stated as a percentage of the par or stated value of the stock
(e.g. 8%, $100 per share par value = $8 dividend)
• May be cumulative (right to current and prior dividends ) or noncumulative (current only)
• May be partially participating (limit on additional dividends), fully participating (pro
rata share in additional dividends (RARE)), or nonparticipating (no additional dividends)
Copyright © 2018 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.
The Concept of Par Value
• Most shares continue to bear arbitrarily designated par values
• Par value has little significance other than historical. Par value
originally indicated the real value of shares. All shares were issued at
that price
• Shares with nominal par amounts (e.g. 1¢, $1) became common to
avoid elaborate statutory rules
• In some early corporation laws, par meant the amount of net assets not available for
distribution to shareholders
• Concepts of par value and legal capital have been eliminated entirely
from most states’ incorporation rules, but previously establish
companies have par value stock
Accounting uses par value concepts, so be aware

Share Buybacks – WHY?
• Viewed as a way to “distribute” company profits without paying dividends
• Decreasing the supply of shares in the marketplace supports (or enhances) the price of

• Increase earnings per share
• Purchase of a company’s own shares does not create an asset (nor a gain or loss), so can buy low
and sell high
• Taxed at lower capital gains rate for shareholders, vs. dividends as ordinary income rate
• To offset the increase in shares issued to employees in compensation plans (see Microsoft Note

• Distributions of assets the company has earned on behalf of
its shareholders
• Most companies view retained earnings as the amount
available for dividends
• If dividend exceeds the balance in retained earnings, the
excess is referred to as a liquidating dividend. Management
is returning to shareholders a portion of their investments
(RARE)
• Any portion of a dividend not representing a distribution of
earnings should be debited to additional paid-in capital

Stock Market Reaction to Stock Distributions
• Market price per share will decline in proportion to the increase in
the number of shares distributed in a stock dividend (supply and demand)
• Early accounting rule-makers erroneously felt that per share market
prices do not adjust in response to an increase in the number of
shares and recorded “small” stock dividends (<25%) as if cash
dividends at market value

Stock Splits
Objective:
• To induce the per share market price decline that follows
• The motivation for reducing the per share market price is to
increase the stock’s marketability by making it attractive to a
larger number of potential investors
Example:
• After a company declares a 100% stock dividend on 100 million
shares of common stock, with a per share market price of $12, it
then has 200 million shares, each with an approximate market
value of $6

Stock Splits (continued)
• A stock distribution of 25% or higher can be accounted for in one of two ways:
– As a “large” stock dividend (stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend)
or
– As a stock split (thus, a 100% stock dividend could be labeled a 2-for-1 stock split
and accounted for as such)
• Accounting treatment of a stock split is to make no journal entry
• Since the total par represents twice as many shares in a 2-for-1 stock split, the
par value per share will reduce by one-half
• All records that refer to the previous amount must be changed to reflect the
new amount
• Account for the “large” stock distribution as stock split effected in the form
of a stock dividend avoids the change to the records by recording an entry to
change the balance in the stock account

Stock Split Effected in the Form of a Stock Dividend
(to avoid changing the par value per share)
Craft declares and distributes a 2-for-1 stock split effected in the
form of a 100% stock dividend (100 million shares) when the
market value of the $1 par common stock is $12 per share:
100 million shares at $1 par per share
($ in millions)
Journal Entry Debit Credit
Paid-in capital—excess of par 100
Common stock 100

Reverse Stock Split
For example: After a 1-for-4 reverse stock split, for example, 100 million
shares, $1 par per share, would become 25 million shares, $4 par per share.

Fractional Shares
For example, for a 25% stock dividend, if the market price at declaration
is $12 per share, the shareholder with 15 shares would receive 3
additional shares (15 x .25 = 3 ¾) and $9 in cash ($12 × 3/4).

E18-20. Hanmi Financial Corporation is the parent company of
Hanmi Bank. The company’s stock split was announced in the
following wire:
LOS ANGELES Jan. 20 BUSINESS WIRE —Hanmi Financial Corporation
(Nasdaq), announced that the Board of Directors has approved a two-for-
one stock split, to be effected in the form of a 100 percent common stock
dividend. Hanmi Financial Corporation stockholders of record at the
close of business on January 31 will receive one additional share of
common stock for every share of common stock then held. Distribution of
additional shares issued as a result of the split is expected to occur on or
about February 15.
At the time of the stock split, 24.5 million shares of common stock, $.001 par per
share, were outstanding.
1. Prepare the journal entry, if any, that Hanmi recorded at the time of the stock
split.
2. What is the probable motivation for declaring the 2-for-1 stock split to be
effected by a dividend payable in shares of common stock?
3. If Hanmi’s stock price had been $36 at the time of the split, what would be its
approximate value after the split (other things equal)?

E18-20. SOLUTION
1. Paid-in capital—excess of par** 24,500
Common stock (24.5 million shares* x $.001 par per share) 24,500
2. If the per share par value of the shares is not to be changed, the stock
distribution is referred to as a "stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend."
In that case, the journal entry in 1. increases the common stock account by the par
value of the additional shares. This prevents the increase in shares from reducing
(by half in this case) the par per share. No adjustment to par is needed.
Could reduce the stock price, as there is now more supply.
3. If Hanmi’s stock price had been $36 at the time of the split, its approximate value
after the split (other things equal) would be $18. The same pie is sliced into twice
as many pieces, so each piece is worth half as much (and is more affordable).
