Homework 9 Page 1 of 3 ACCT 2301 - Homework 9 1. Explain the difference between the par and market value of an equity stock. The entity issuing the financial instrument establishes its par value. When stocks and bonds were printed on paper, their par values were printed on the faces of the shares. In contrast, market value refers to the current price at which an asset may be exchanged on the stock market. 2. Preferred stocks entitle shareholders to vote. a. True b. False 3. Explain what treasury stocks are. A corporation that repurchases shares of its outstanding stock on the open market in order to reduce the total number of outstanding stock is said to be holding Treasury stock. These stock shares are often referred to as reacquired shares. 4. On July 30, Company X issues 200,000 shares of $0.20 par value common stock for $15 per share. What journal entry should the company record? Date Account Debit Credit July 30 Cash (A+) 3,000,000 Common Stock (SE+) 40,000 Additional Paid in Capital (SE+) 2,960,000 5. Explain what stock options are and what they are used for. A type of equity compensation known as stock options gives an employee the right to purchase a predetermined number of shares at a predetermined price. A lot of firms, startups, and individual businesses will include them in their remuneration packages for potential hires. 6. In 2009 the following selected transactions affecting stockholders’ equity occurred for Company Y. (a) April 1: Purchased in the market 300 shares of the company’s own common stock at $40 per share. The company bought back its own shares, which is known as treasury stock. The total cost of purchasing the 300 shares would be 300 shares * $40 per share = $12,000. (b) June 14: Sold 100 shares of treasury stock for $45 cash per share. The company sold 100 shares of its treasury stock at $45 per share. The total cash received from this transaction would be 100 shares * $45 per share = $4,500. The gain or loss on the sale can be calculated by comparing the selling price with the cost. In this case, it would be ($45 - $40) * 100 shares = $500 gain.
Homework 9 Page 2 of 3 (c) September 1: Sold 80 shares of treasury stock for $25 cash per share. The company sold 80 shares of its treasury stock at $25 per share. The total cash received from this transaction would be 80 shares * $25 per share = $2,000. Similarly, calculate the gain or loss on this sale. In this case, it would be ($25 - $40) * 80 shares = ($15) * 80 shares = ($1,200) loss. Record these transactions using journal entries. The equity portion of the company's balance sheet would contain these transactions. The purchases and sells would be deducted from the treasury stock account, and any gains or losses on the sales would have an impact on the retained earnings or extra paid-in capital accounts. The company's chosen accounting technique (cost method or par value method) will determine the precise accounting entries. 7.
