Dividend variationsCash dividends
Actual money goes out to share holders. This is real money. Shareholders can spend it.
Stock dividendsThis is not money. No money is sent to anybody.The company sends additional shares of stock to every owner, proportional to their shares held.Every owner maintains the exact same percentage ownership in the company.
Question: Which does not involve the cash account?
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.
Stock Dividend A distribution of a corporation’s own stock
Affects only stockholders’ equity accounts No effect on total stockholders’ equityNo effect on assets or liabilities
Stockholders receive proportionate sharesExample–10% stock dividend; every stockholder receives 10% more shares
If you own 100 shares, you get 10 moreIf I own 10 shares, I get 1 moreTotal number of shares issued and outstanding increasesOwnership percentages remain the same

Why Do Companies Issue Stock Dividends?
Conserve cashContinue dividends without using cash
Reduce market price per share
6
Share supply increases; market price decreasesLess expensive; more attractive investment
Reward investorsShareholders receive something of perceived value
If I just got more shares, and everyone else got more shares too, are any of us really better off?

The point of this transaction is to put the retained earnings more visibly “in the hands” of the investor.
A small stock dividend shouldn’t materially affect the stock price, so we do the transaction at market price.
1) Take the market value of the new shares out of retained earnings {Debit Retained earnings}
2) Put that amount into Common stock account subject to that accounts par value limits
{Credit Capital stock} {Or, Credit: Stock dividend to be distributed}
3) Put the residual in the Additional paid In capital account {Credit: Additional paid in capital}
Small Stock Dividend Logic Path

Entries for Small Stock Dividend
Same three dates for a stock dividendDeclaration date; record date; distribution dateWe are preparing one single summary transaction
Pull full market value from retained earningsPut it in the common stock account, subject to par
Demo: Issue a 5% stock dividend on common stockThere are 2,000,000 shares of $1 par stock outstandingThe stock is trading at $50 (market value)
What did we just do to the usefulness of the balance sheet?

Large stock dividendsThese are greater than 25%, large enough to affect stock price.
So, there is no pretending that they won’t.
Since we aren’t pretending to support market price, we just take the par value out of retained earnings and reposition that as common stock
This keeps the stock price affordable to smaller investors and placates investor return desires.

Entries for Large Stock DividendLarge
Distribution is greater than 20% to 25% of issued sharesDebit Retained earnings for par or stated value of sharesCredit Common stock for par or stated value of sharesRare
Journal entry demo: 50% stock dividend2,100,000 shares outstanding$1 par value
These are quite rare, normally a company will either do a small stock dividend, or a stock split.

Casual investor perceptions
$100 stocks seem too expensive
$50 stocks must be
doing well
$0.50 stocks must be
underperforming companies
Stock splits can be performed to
put the per share price
wherever you want it.

Why is there price movement around stock splits?
Small investors view the stock as more affordable.

Stock Split Market Price Effects

Stock SplitsA stock split:
Cuts par value per shareIncreases the number of shares of stock issued and outstandingLeaves all account balances and total stockholders’ equity unchanged
Balances in the accounts are unchangedRecord in a memorandum entry–a journal entry without debits and credits

Evaluating Earnings Per Share
Growth rateCompanies aim to increase earnings per share to demonstrate increasing wealth building power
Earnings relative to stock priceComparing the stock price per share to the earnings per share provides a measure of value of the stockThe Price to Earnings ratio compares stock price to earnings per share
A measure of how much it costs to buy $1.00 in a company’s earnings.A high p/e ratio indicates an expensive stockA low p/e ratio indicates a value stock
60
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.
Price to Earnings Ratio
P/E ratio = Price per share ÷ Earnings per share
Using the P/E ratio:Find a company you like based on:
Earnings – strong income statementBalance sheet – strong financial standingCash flows – learn next weekSituation analysis
THEN, evaluate whether or not it is worth the purchase price by using the p/e ratio

Chapter 13 SummaryStock dividends are either small (less than 20%–25%) or large (greater than 20%–25%). Small stock dividends are valued at the stock’s fair market value. Large stock dividends are valued at par. Stock dividends have no effect on total stockholders’ equity, but do increase paid-in capital and decrease Retained earnings.Stock splits reduce par value and market value per share. Stock splits increase the number of issued and outstanding shares. Stock splits have no effect on any general ledger accounts.
66

Chapter 13 SummaryTreasury stock occurs when a company repurchases previously issued shares. Treasury stock is a contra equity account; therefore, increases in Treasury stock decrease total stockholders’ equity. Treasury stock purchases are recorded at cost, not par. All gains/losses on treasury stock sales are reported in the stockholders’ equity accounts.Restrictions on retained earnings most often arise from loan restrictions. These restrictions usually require companies to maintain minimum levels of retained earnings, thereby restricting amounts available for cash dividends and treasury stock purchases. Restrictions must be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

Chapter 13 SummaryThe corporate income statement extends its coverage to include items that aren’t continuing. Extraordinary items—those infrequent and unusual—are reported separately, net of their tax effect on the income statement. Earnings per outstanding common share are reported for each major income statement item. The statement of retained earnings may include prior-period adjustments for corrective items. Comprehensive income includes the four items identified that aren’t normally reported on the income statement.
