TechChip began business on January 1 and immediately issued 600,000 shares of its $7 par value common stock for $15,000,000. At the end of the year it paid $450,000 in cash dividends. In midyear, the firm bought back some of its own shares. The company reports the following additional information at December 31:
Net income |
$3,500,000 |
Retained earnings beginning of year |
$260,000 |
Common shares authorized |
2,000,000 |
Shares outstanding at year end |
500,000 |
1. The company issued 600000 shares for $15000000. Total price per share = 15000000/600000 = 25
Par value of share = 7
Additional paid-in capital per share = 25-7 = 18
No. of share outstanding at the end of the year = 500000.
Total additional paid-in capital at the end of the year = 500000*18 = $9,000,000
2. Opening balance of retained earnings = 260,000
(+) Net income for the year = 3,500,000
(-) Cash dividend paid = -450,000
Closing balance of retained earnings = 260000+3500000-450000 = $3,310,000
3. Shares issued at the beginning of the year = 600,000
Shares outstanding at the end of the year = 500,000
No. of shares in treasury at the end of the year = 600,000 - 500,000 = 100,000 shares.
Hope this helps :)
