LO 1 Copyright ©2018 John Wiley & Son, Inc. 3


Cash Dividends
For a corporation to pay a cash dividend, it must have:
1. Retained earnings - Payment of cash dividends from
retained earnings is legal in all states
2. Adequate cash
3. A declaration of dividends by Board of Directors

LO 1 Copyright ©2018 John Wiley & Son, Inc. 4


Cash Dividends
Three dates are important: ILLUSTRATION 14.1
Key dividend dates

LO 1 Copyright ©2018 John Wiley & Son, Inc. 5


Cash Dividends
Illustration: On December 1, the directors of Media General
declare a 50 cents per share cash dividend on 100,000 shares
of $10 par value common stock. The dividend is payable on
January 20 to shareholders of record on December 22.
Dec. 1 Cash Dividends 50,000
Dividends Payable 50,000

Dividend Preferences
• Right to receive dividends before common
stockholders
• Per share dividend amount is stated as a percentage
of preferred stock’s par value or as a specified
amount
• Cumulative Dividend Preferred stockholders must be
paid both current-year dividends and any unpaid
prior-year dividends before common stockholders
receive dividends

LO 1 Copyright ©2018 John Wiley & Son, Inc. 7


Dividend Preferences
Cumulative Dividend
Illustration: Scientific Leasing has 5,000 shares of 7%, $100
par value, cumulative preferred stock outstanding. Each $100
share pays a $7 dividend (.07 × $100). The annual dividend is
$35,000 (5,000 × $7 per share). If dividends are two years in
arrears, preferred stockholders are entitled to receive the
following dividends.
Dividends in arrears ($35,000 × 2) $ 70,000
Current-year dividends 35,000
Total preferred dividends $105,000

LO 1 Copyright ©2018 John Wiley & Son, Inc. 8


Dividend Preferences
Allocating Cash Dividends Between Preferred and
Common Stock
Holders of cumulative preferred stock must be paid any
unpaid prior-year dividends and their current year’s dividend
before common stockholders receive dividends.

LO 1 Copyright ©2018 John Wiley & Son, Inc. 9


Allocating Cash Dividends
Illustration: On December 31, 2020, IBR Inc. has 1,000 shares
of 8%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock. It also has
50,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. At
December 31, 2020, the directors declare a $6,000 cash
dividend. Calculate the annual preferred dividend.
$100 par x 8% x 1,000 shares = $8,000

Prepare the entry to record the declaration of the dividend.


Dec. 31 Cash Dividends 6,000
Dividends Payable 6,000

preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2020. At December

Determine the dividend paid to preferred stockholders and
common stockholders under each of the following scenarios.
1. The preferred stock is noncumulative, and the company has
not missed any dividends in previous years.
Preferred stockholders are paid only this year’s dividend
Preferred stockholders = $12,000 (2,000 x .06 x $100)
Common stockholders = $48,000 ($60,000 - $12,000)

Stock Dividends
A pro rata (proportional to ownership) distribution of the
corporation’s own stock to stockholders.
Reasons why corporations issue stock dividends:
1. Satisfy stockholders’ dividend expectations without
spending cash
2. Increase marketability of corporation’s stock
3. Emphasize a portion of stockholders’ equity has
been permanently reinvested in business

LO 1 Copyright ©2018 John Wiley & Son, Inc. 16


Stock Dividends
• Small stock dividend (less than 20–25% of
corporation’s issued stock, recorded at fair market
value)
 Accounting based on assumption that a small
stock dividend will have little effect on market
price of outstanding shares
• Large stock dividend (greater than 20–25% of issued
stock, recorded at par value)

To illustrate, assume that Rally Inc. reports net income of
$211,000 on its 102,500 weighted-average common shares.
During the year, it also declares a $6,000 dividend on its
preferred stock. Therefore, the amount Rally has available for
common stock dividends is $205,000 ($211,000 − $6,000).
Earnings per share is calculated as follows.

Appendix 14B Book Value per Share
Represents the equity a common stockholder has in the net
assets of the corporation from owning one share of stock.
If Marlo Corporation has total stockholders’ equity of
$1,500,000 (common stock $1,000,000 and retained earnings
$500,000) and 50,000 shares of common stock outstanding,
book value per share is calculated as follows.

Total Number of
Book Value
Stockholders’ ÷ Common Shares =
per Share
Equity Outstanding
$1,500,000 ÷ 50,000 = $30

LO 5 Copyright ©2018 John Wiley & Son, Inc. 45


Appendix 14B Book Value per Share
When the company has both preferred and common stock,
the computation of book value per share involves the
following steps.
1. Compute preferred stock equity. The sum of the call price
of preferred stock plus any cumulative dividends in
arrears. If the preferred stock does not have a call price,
the par value of the stock is used.
2. Determine the common stock equity. Subtract the
preferred stock equity from total stockholders’ equity.
3. Determine book value per share. Divide common stock
equity by shares of common stock outstanding.

LO 5 Copyright ©2018 John Wiley & Son, Inc. 46


Appendix 14B Book Value per Share
Using the stockholders’ equity section of Graber Inc. shown in
Illustration 14.14, assume Graber’s preferred stock is callable
at $120 per share and is cumulative, and that dividends on
Graber’s preferred stock were in arrears for one year, $54,000
(6,000 × $9). The computation of preferred stock equity is as
follows.
Call price (6,000 shares × $120) $720,000
Dividends in arrears (6,000 shares × $9) 54,000
Preferred stock equity $774,000

Appendix 14B Book Value per Share

at $120 per share and is cumulative, and that dividends on
Graber’s preferred stock were in arrears for one year, $54,000
(6,000 × $9). The computation of book value is as follows.

Book value per share may not equal market price per share.
The correlation between book value and the annual range of a

A Look at IFRS
Key Points
Similarities
• The accounting related to prior period adjustment is essentially the
same under IFRS and GAAP.
• The stockholders’ equity section is essentially the same under IFRS
and GAAP. However, terminology used to describe certain
components is often different. These differences are discussed in
Chapter 13.

A Look at IFRS
Key Points
Similarities
• The income statement using IFRS is called the statement of
comprehensive income. A statement of comprehensive income is
presented in a one- or two-statement format. The single-statement
approach includes all items of income and expense, as well as each
component of other comprehensive income or loss by its individual
characteristic. In the two-statement approach, a traditional income
statement is prepared. It is then followed by a statement of
comprehensive income, which starts with net income or loss and
then adds other comprehensive income or loss items. Regardless of
which approach is reported, income tax expense is required to be
reported.

A Look at IFRS
Key Points
Similarities
• The computations related to earnings per share are essentially the
same under IFRS and GAAP.
Differences

(non–paid-in) capital. Reserves include retained earnings and other
comprehensive income items, such as revaluation surplus and
unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities.
• IFRS often uses terms such as retained profits or accumulated profit
or loss to describe retained earnings. The term retained earnings is
also often used.

A Look at IFRS
Looking to the Future
The IASB and the FASB are currently working on a project related to
financial statement presentation. An important part of this study is to
determine whether certain line items, subtotals, and totals should be
clearly defined and required to be displayed in the financial statements.
For example, it is likely that the statement of stockholders’ equity and its
presentation will be examined closely.
Both the IASB and FASB are working toward convergence of any
remaining differences related to earnings per share computations. This
convergence will deal with highly technical changes beyond the scope of
this textbook.
