A Saudi company was approved as a corporation in Jan 2018. The company decided to issue 5000 common shares in June at SR 20 per share. According to charter, the company is authorized to issue 50,000 shares.
Required:
What is the effect on financial position of the company under each of the following alternatives?
Note: use the accounting equation to answer
Assets | = | Liabilities | + | Stockholders' Equity | ||
Cash | Common Stock | Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par / Stated Value | ||||
The stock has par value of SR 20 | 100,000 | 0 | 100,000 | 0 | ||
The stock has par value of SR 10 | 100,000 | 0 | 50,000 | 50,000 | ||
The stock has a stated value of SR 5 | 100,000 | 25,000 | 75,000 | |||
3 for 1 Stock Split | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
A stock split would not impact the accounting equation. But the number of shares would quadruple, , i.e 5,000 shares would now be 5,000 + ( 5,000 x 3 ) = 20,000 shares. New par value of each share = SR 25 /4 = SR 6.25.
The book value of the stock remains unchanged at SR 6.25 x 20,000 = SR 125,000.
Book value of the stock prior to the stock split = 5,000 x SR 25 = SR 125,000.
