Opening Question/Thought
• What is Owners’ or Stockholders Equity?– Stockholders’ ownership interest in the assets of a
corporation• Now discuss with several other people the
following:– How can stock impact a company? What is the
influence of stock on a company?– What are current disadvantages we know about
stock? (come up with 3)– What are the current advantages we know about
stock?
Defining Owners’ Equity• What is a stockholder?– A person who owns stock in a corporation– Also called a shareholder
• Corporation– Reminder it is a separate legal entity– Meaning: it is like an artificial person
• Limited Liability– Stockholders have this for the corporation’s debts.– The most they can lose is their investment in the stock– One of the most attractive parts about corporations
Organizing a Corporation• Every Corporation should have “bylaws”– Constitution for governing a corporation– Laws, rules, policies that should be used for any
organization• What is the “board of directors”?– Group elected by the stockholders to set policy or a
corporation and to appoint its officers• The Two Head Positions on a Board– Chairperson: most powerful, elected by board– President: manages day-to-day activities, cheif
Defining Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ Equity is divided into two main parts:• Paid-in Capital– The amount of stockholders’ equity that
stockholders have contributed to the corporation• Retained Earnings– The amount of stockholders’ equity that the
corporation has earned through profitable operation of the business and has not given back to stockholders
Discuss Exhibits and Graphs• Exhibit 9-2 (edition 6, page 420)
– This is the authority structure in a corporation– Notice that Stockholders are the top of the chain…
they are the most important as they vote for the board of directors
• Exhibit 9-3 (edition 6, page 421)
– This is a stock certificate– Notice several of the main parts:• Company Name, Stockholder Name• Number of shares, Par Value of each share
Classes of Stock
Corporations issue different types of stock to appeal to a variety of investors:• Common Stock– The most basic form of capital stock– Owners of a corporation/business…and given
different rights• Some companies issue different classes– Class A = right to vote– Class B = may be nonvoting
Classes of Stock
Preferred Stock• Stock that gives its owners certain advantages– Priority to receive dividends before the common
stockholders– Priority to receive assets before the common
stockholders if the corporation liquidates• Read through Exhibit 9-5 to understand more
about Common Stock vs. Preferred Stock vs. Long-Term Debt
Deeper Understanding of SE
• Par Value– Amount assigned by a company to share or stock
• Legal capital– Minimum amount of stockholders’ equity that
corporation must maintain for the protection of creditors
• Stated Value– Amount assigned to the no-par stock– No-par stock is not common…only 9% of
companies use.
Practice and APPLY In groups of 2-4 people, talk about and WRITE what the journals and ledgers would look like with the following information:• On January 1st, Arby’s will issue 8,700,000 shares
of stock• Class of Stock is Common Stock• Par value is $.01• Price per Share is $10• 6,700,000 shares sold in the U.S.A.• 2,000,000 shares sold Internationally
Converse about Concepts
Treasury Stock• A corporation’s own stock that is has issued and later
reacquiredReasons for Purchasing Your Own Stock1. Issued all of its authorized stock and needs the stock for
giving to employees under stock purchase plans.2. The business is trying to increase net assets by buying
its shares low and hoping to resell them for a higher price
3. Management wants to avoid a takeover by an outside party
Retirement of Stock• Some companies retire their stock to avoid
paying dividends• Usually occurs more with preferred stock• Retired stock cannot be reissued
Influence on Statements:• The journal entry debits the stock account and
any paid-in capital on the stock• Credits cash
WELCOME TO DAY 2 of Week 14!
• Welcome: ARE YOU READY FOR THE WEEKEND?
• Bake Sale• Review: what did we talk about in the
previous class?• Complete Owners’ Equity Discussions• Application Activity for Weekend Work• Long Term Investments and International
Operations Discussions and Concepts
Retained Earnings, Dividends, and More
• Deficit (loss)– Debit balance in the retained earnings account– Arises from when a corporation’s lifetime losses and
dividends exceed its lifetime earnings• What is a dividend?– Distribution by a corporation to its stockholders– Usually a cash distribution
• Dividends on Preferred Stock are stated either as:– Percentage Rate or Dollar Amount
Stock Dividend
Proportional distribution by a corporation of its own stock to its stockholders• Give part of companies stock to stockholders
Usual Influence on Statements• Increase stock account and decrease retained
earnings• Total equity is unchanged, and no asset or
liability is affected
Reasons for Distributing Dividends
Corporations may choose to distribute stock dividends for the two main following reasons:1. To continue dividends but conserve cash
1. Company may want to keep cash for operations, but want to continue to give some type of dividends
2. To reduce the per-share market price of its stock
1. Increase the supply of stock to lower the market price
2. Objective is to make the stock less expensive and attract more investors

• What is the Market Value of Stock mean?– Price for which a person could buy or sell a share
of stock• What is the Book Value of Stock mean?– Amount of owners’ equity on the company’s
books for each share of its stock
Ratio Time!
• Rate of Return on Total Assets– Net income plus interest expense divided by average
total assets– Ratio measures a company’s success in using its
assets to earn income for the person who finance the business• Creditors and Stockholders
RRTA = Net income + Interest expense Average total assets
Ratio Time
Rate of Return on Common Stockholders’ Equity• Net income minus preferred dividends, divided
by average common stockholders’ equity• Measure of profitability
RRCSE = Net Income – Preferred Dividends Average common stockholders’

• What category of stock to buy from?• Is this a safe investment?• Does this company have steady dividends?• Are their dividends increasing or not?• Is the stock price increasing…what is the
trend?• Overall…how to identify a good stock to buy?
Outside Class LearningTake time to study this a little more on your own outside of class. • Class is a learning environment, but not the best…
curiosity with tools opens more understandingIn Teams of 2 to 4 do the following: (due next week)• Find a companies Stock Report/Article/Etc.• Read the report or article• Write 2 paragraphs discussing what you learned
and make a guess whether their stock will be higher or lower in a month. State WHY?
CHAPTER 10!!! Only a few more• Long-Term Investments and International
Operations: Get ready for the interview questions…
What is a short-term investment?• Investment that a company plans to keep for 1
year or lessWhat is a long-term investment?• Keeps for longer than a year
Thinking about Investments
Investment is a diverse/broad word correct?• What are all the types of investments you can
think of?– Stock vs. Bonds– Acquisition of a company vs. Takeovers– Real Estate Sales vs. Rentals and Leases– Jewelry, Antiques, Gold– Other various products– And much more
Long-Term Investments• Why would a business want to buy another
company?– Resources– Skills and Techniques– Growth in the Market– Development of Current Products– Expansion of other Products– More Power and Higher Image in Society– Money and Investments– Numerous More
Purchase of Other Company Concepts
• Controlling:– Ownership of a more than 50% of an investee
company’s voting stock• Parent Company– An investor company that owns more than 50% of
the voting stock of a subsidiary company• Subsidiary Company– An investee company in which a parent company
owns more than 50% of the voting stock
Consolidation AccountingMethod used to combine all the financial statements from each of the companies that are controlled by the same stockholders. • How would this help the investors?– Investors can gain a better perspective on total
operations than if they viewed each company’s financial statements
– Gives investors a better understanding • Statements have columns in each statement
for the “Parent Company” and “Subsidiary Corporation”
Converse about Concepts
Minority Interest:• A subsidiary company’s equity that is held by
stockholders other than the parent company.
I AM STILL HOPING FOR SOME SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS
International Operations?What is the foreign-currency exchange rate?• The measure of one country’s currency against another
country’s currency• Think about the fact of businesses changing the value for
accounting purposes
Two Main factors affect supply and demand for a particular currency:1. The ratio of a country’s imports to its exports2. The rate of return available in the country’s capital
markets
International Concepts Continued
• Strong Currency– A currency whose exchange rate is rising relative to
other nations currencies – What are some examples?
• Weak Currency– A currency whose exchange rate is falling relative to
that of other nations– What are some examples?
Foreign Currency TransactionsHow can companies avoid foreign-currency transaction LOSSES?• Insist that the transaction trade be in their
currency (U.S. Dollar, Yuan, Yen, Euro, etc.)• Hedging:– Protecting yourself from losing money in one
transaction by engaging in a counterbalancing transaction
– Losses from one country may be balanced by gains from a different country
– Future contracts…create a payable to offset a receivable
End International Finance Thoughts• Foreign Currency must be translated back into
dollar amounts – Helps with decisions and more
• International Accounting Standards – Standards must be known for where your company is
located– Standards around the world are different– Some things are similar, but other important details
differ– The better you follow the countries standards, the
more they will be fond of you being there
