What is the effect of the stock and bond transactions on Cash on the Balance Sheet on December 31, 2016?
Cash received from issue of bonds = $183,599
Cash paid to purchase shares of common stock = 2,148 x $23 = $49,404
Cash received from sale of treasury stock = 1,543 x ($23 + $9) = $49,376
Cash paid as bond interest on June 30 = $202,937 x 7% x 1/2 = $7,102.80
Cash paid as bond interest on December 31 = $202,937 x 7% x 1/2 = $7,102.80
Cash dividends paid to preferred stockholders' = 500 x $46 x 8% = $1,840
Cash dividends paid to common stockholders' = $2.3 x (8,373 - 2,148 + 1,543) = $17,866.40
Therefore,
Effect of the stock and bond transactions on Cash
= $183,599 - $49,404 + $49,376 - $7,102.80 - $7,102.80 - $1,840 - $17,866.40
= $149,659 Increase
Thus, cash will increase by $149,659
