A corporation is a legal entity, distinct and separate from the individuals who create and operate it. As a
legal entity, a corporation may acquire, own, and dispose of property in its own name.
Objective 1Objective 1Objective 1Objective 1Describe the nature of the
corporate form of organization.
The stockholders or shareholders who own the stock own the corporation. Corporations whose shares of stock are traded in public markets are called public
corporations.

Corporations whose shares are not traded publicly are usually owned by
a small group of investors and are called nonpublic or private
corporations. The stockholders of all corporation have limited liability.
13-1
The stockholders control a corporation by electing a board of directors. The board meets periodically to establish corporate policy. It also selects the chief executive officer (CEO) and other major officers.

Advantages of the Corporate Form
A corporation exists separately from its owners. A corporation’s life is separate from its owners;
therefore, it exists indefinitely. The corporate form is suited for raising large
amounts of money from stockholders.
A corporation sells shares of ownership, called stock. Stockholders can transfer their shares of stock to other stockholders.
A corporation’s creditors usually may not go beyond the assets of the corporation to satisfy their claims.

13-1
Disadvantages of the Corporate Form
Stockholders control management through a board of directors.
As a separate legal entity, the corporation is subject to taxation. Thus, net income distributed as dividends will be taxed at both the corporate and individual levels.
Corporations must satisfy many regulatory requirements.

The owner’s equity in a corporation is called stockholders’ equity, shareholders’ equity, shareholders’
investment, or capital.
Objective 2Objective 2Objective 2Objective 2Describe the two main sources of
stockholders’ equity.
The two sources of capital found in the Stockholders’ Equity section of a balance sheet are
paid-in capital or contributed capital (capital contributed to the corporation by stockholders and others) and retained earnings (net income retained
in the business).

Stockholders’ Equity Section of a Corporate Balance Sheet
Stockholders’ EquityPaid-in capital: Common stock $330,000Retained earnings 80,000 Total stockholders’ equity $410,000
If there is only one class of stock, the account is entitled Common Stock or Capital Stock.
A debit balance in Retained Earnings is called a deficit. Such a balance results from
accumulated net losses.

Shares of stock are often assigned a monetary amount, called par. Corporations may issue stock certificates to stockholders to document
their ownership. Some corporations have stopped issuing stock certificates except on special request.
Stock issued without a par is called no-par stock. Some states require the board of directors to assign a stated value to no-par stock.
The number of shares of stock that a corporation is authorized to issue is stated in the charter. A corporation may reacquire some of the stock that
has been issued. The stock remaining in the hands of stockholders is then called outstanding stock.
Describe and illustrate the characteristics of stock, classes of stock, and entries for issuing stock.

Major Rights That Accompany Ownership of a Share of Stock
Two Primary Classes of Paid-In Capital
The two primary classes of paid-in capital are common stock and preferred stock. The primary attractiveness of preferred stocks is that they are
preferred over common as to dividends.

E.g. A corporation has 1,000 shares of $4 preferred stock and 4,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The net income, amount of earnings retained, and the amount of earnings distributed are as follows:
Net income $20,000 $9,000 $62,000Amount retained 10,000 6,000 40,000Amount distributed $10,000 $3,000 $22,000
