MODULE 1
OVERVIEW
Some of the causes where there is partnership dissolution with liquidation include the
accomplishment of the objective for which the partnership was formed, termination of the period
covered as stated in the contract and mutual agreement among the partners to dissolve and
liquidate the partnership.
MODULE OBJECTIVES
This is the process where non-cash assets are reduced to cash and distributing the
proceeds to the proper parties.
The process of converting non-cash assets into cash is called realization. This involves
the collection of receivables, selling of inventories, and selling of property and equipment.
6 ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2
Realization of non-cash assets may either result in a gain or loss on realization and will be
distributed to the partners based on their profit and loss agreement. Gain on realization is
the excess of the selling price over the cost or book value of the assets being disposed,
otherwise, the result would be a loss on realization. There is not much problem if the
result is a gain since there would be enough cash to settle all the outside creditors and the
partners. However, problem arises when the realization resulted in a loss since this will be
distributed among the partners as a deduction from their capital balance. If the partner’s
capital balance resulted in a negative amount (debit balance) after the distribution of the
loss, this is known as capital deficiency and must be eliminated and the affected partner will
be known as the deficient partner.
a) If the deficient partner has a loan to the partnership, he may exercise the right of offset,
which is the legal right to apply part or all of the amount owing to a partner on a loan
balance against deficiency in his capital account resulting from losses in the process of
liquidation. The loan payable to a partner has a higher priority in liquidation than a
partner’s capital balance but a lower priority than liabilities to outside creditors.
b) If the deficient partner is solvent and has no loan to the partnership, he may make an
additional investment equal to the amount of his capital deficiency, and
c) If the deficient partner is insolvent, his capital deficiency will be absorbed by the
remaining partners as additional loss based on their profit and loss sharing.
A partner is considered solvent if his personal assets exceed his personal liabilities
while an insolvent partner is one whose personal liabilities exceed his personal assets.
In the distribution of proceeds from realization, the partnership creditors other partners
has the top priority. If the cash available is sufficient, liabilities to this group of creditors
must first be settled in full before making any payment to the partners in whatever capacity
they are entitled into.
In case the partnership cannot meet its obligation to outside creditors, the personal
assets of the partners will be applied as payment but only if there is an excess over his
personal liabilities. In other words, priority is given to the partner’s personal creditors and
any excess will be applied as payment to the partnership creditors.
Marshalling of assets involves the order of priorities or creditors’ rights against the
partnership assets and the personal assets of the individual partners. The order in which
claims against the assets of the partnership will be marshaled is as follows:
3. Payment to partners
After the settlement of the liabilities to the partnership outside creditors, any capital
deficiency resulting from the distribution of loss on realization, must first be eliminated
before making payments to the partners. Settlement with the partners follows this order of
priority:
1. Determining the profit or loss from the beginning of the accounting period to the date of
liquidation and the distribution of the such profit or loss;
TYPES OF LIQUIDATION
STATEMENT OF LIQUIDATION
ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEM
Assume that the statement of financial position of King, Jolly and Donald shows the
following account balances before liquidation:
Profit and loss ratio: 4:4:2 to King, Jolly and Donald, respectively.
Required:
Journal entries:
Cash 280,000
Other assets 272,000
King, capital 3,200
Jolly, Capital 3,200
Donald, Capital 1,600
b) Payment of liabilities
Liabilities 89,600
Cash 89,600
c) Payment to partners
The Schedule to Accompany the Statement of Liquidation shows amounts to be paid to the
partners. Total partners’ interest will be reduced by the restricted interest for possible losses if
the deficient partner fails to pay his capital deficiency. Restricted interest for possible loss will
continue until all deficiencies or debit capital balances are eliminated, after which, balances will
now be called as Free Interest-amounts to be paid to partners, where payments are applied first
t loan, then on capital.
There are some problems that ask for the computation of cash settlement to partners but
do not require the preparation of a statement of liquidation. In such cases, the following must
have taken place before computing the cash settlement to partners:
To determine if there is a gain or loss on realization, comparison must be made between the
debits
16 ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2
(cash available to partners) and the total credits (partners’ loans and capital balances). If total
debit exceeds total credit, the excess is a gain on realization, and if the total debit is less than
the total credit, the difference is a loss on realization. Such gain or loss on realization must first
be distributed before proceeding with the liquidation process.
ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEM
On June 30, 2019, the capital balances of Joe, Andy and Greg are P 80,000, P 50,000 and P
10,000, respectively. Profits and losses are shared 3:2:1. The partners decided to liquidate, and
the non-cash assets were realized for P 74,000. After paying the liabilities amounting to P
24,000, cash balance showed P 56,000 for distribution to partners.

received?
ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2 19
MODULE 2
INSTALLMENT LIQUIDATION
OVERVIEW
Under the installment liquidation, the cash settlement is on installment or piece meal
basis. As soon as cash becomes available, and the liabilities are fully paid, partial payments will
be made to the partners based on their capital balances if any, after subtracting their share in
the losses on realization whether actual or theoretical.
If the realization process (conversion of non-cash assets into cash) will take an extended
period of time, the non-cash assets will be sold on a piece-meal basis and the cash is
distributed to proper parties as it becomes available.
MODULE OBJECTIVES
The order of payment will still be the same as per the provisions of the law whether the
cash settlement us by lump sum or on installment basis. Creditors should be given first priority,
then the partner’s loan, and the balance, will be distributed to the partners based on their capital
balances (return of capital).
To insure that the cash settlement on installment basis will be equitable and will not
result in under or overpayment of the partners’ claims, the non-cash assets still unsold on the
date of partial cash distribution will be assumed to be a total loss (that is, cannot be sold
anymore). The book value of the unsold assets will be considered as “theoretical loss” which
will be divided among the partners using their profit and loss sharing agreement. Also, if there
are expected liquidation expenses yet to be incurred, they will also be divided among the
partners prior to the cash distribution.
It should be emphasized that the cash settlement among the partners will be the same
regardless of whether the lump sum method or installment method of liquidation is employed.
As far as the accounting procedures are involved, they are practically the same except
that under the lump sum liquidation, the cash settlement is made only after all the non-cash are
realized while under the liquidation by installment, cash distribution is made as soon as cash is
available. To determine the correct distribution of cash, a schedule of distribution is prepared
every time a partial settlement will be made, known as the schedule of safe payments.
20 ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2
The schedule for safe payments shows how available cash would be distributed to
partners. The schedule is also based on the assumption that all unsold non-cash assets will be
worthless. The assumed loss is allocated among the partners according to their profit and loss
sharing agreement. The allocation of the assumed loss could produce debit balances (capital
deficiency) in partners’ capital accounts, and these balances are treated as being uncollectible.
The assumed debit capital balances are allocated to those partners with credit balances
according to their profit and loss ratio. Only after the liabilities and liquidation expenses are
paid, liquidation losses distributed, and debit capital balances eliminated, can cash be
distributed safely to the partners in amounts equal to the resulting credit capital balances.
A new schedule of safe payments is prepared each time cash is available for distribution
to partners. These schedules support the installment liquidation statement which summarizes
the changes in real account balances as the liquidation progresses. When the capital balances
of the partners are brought into the profit and loss ratio, all partners will be allocated
automatically according to the profit and loss ratio, thereby eliminating the need for the schedule
of safe payments.
Instead of preparing a schedule showing how cash will be distributed every time a partial
cash settlement will be made among the partners, a cash priority program can be prepared
which will show in advance how future cash available can be distributed without making any
under or overpayment to the partners.
The steps in the preparation of the cash priority program are as follows:
1. Determine total partners’ interest – this is equal to the capital balances before
liquidation plus loans by partners to the partnership less advances by the partnership to
the partners.
2. Compute partner’s loss absorption capacity – divide the total partners’ interest by their
profit and loss ratio. The loss absorption capacity is the maximum partnership loss a
partner’s capital can absorb out of his share in the loss without having a capital
deficiency. The partner with the highest absorption capacity will have the first priority in
the distribution of cash available (after full payment of creditors). The partner with the
second highest absorption capacity will have the second priority, and so forth and so
on. The order of priority, therefore, depends on the loss absorption capacity of the
partners.
3. Cash distributions will now be based on the profit and loss ratio once the partners’ loss
absorption balances become equal.

DEFINITION OF A CORPORATION
ATTRIBUTES OF A CORPORATION
4. Power, attributes, properties authorized by law. A corporation has only the power,
attributes and properties expressly authorized by law or incident to its existence. Being a
mere creation of law, a corporation can only exercise power provided by law and those
power that is incidental to its existence.
ADVANTAGES OF A CORPORATION
3. Large scale business undertakings are made possible because many individuals
investing their funds in the enterprise.
4. The liability of its’ investors or shareholders is limited to the extent of their investment in
the corporation.
5. The transfer of shares can be effected without the need for prior consent of other
shareholders.
6. Its smooth operation is guaranteed because of centralized management.
DISADVANTAGES OF A CORPORATION
1. It is not easy to organized because of complicated legal requirements and high costs in
its organization.
2. The limited liability of its shareholders may weaken its credit capacity.
3. It is subject to rigid governmental control.
4. It is subject to more taxes.
5. Its centralized management restricts a more active participation by shareholders in the
conduct of corporate affairs.
CLASSES OF CORPORATION
1. As to Membership Holdings
a. Stock corporation- a private corporation in which the capital is divided into share of
stock and is authorized to distribute corporate earnings to the holders on the basis of
shares held. The owners of a stock corporation are called stockholders or
shareholders.
b. Non-stock corporation- a private corporation in which capital comes from fees paid
by individuals composing it. The owners of a non-stock corporation are called
members.
2. As to Purpose
a. Public corporation- a corporation that is organized to govern a portion of the state
(e.g. municipalities, provinces).
b. Private corporation- a corporation that is organized for a private benefit, aim or end.
ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2 35
3. As to Compliance of Law
a. De jure corporation- a corporation which exist in both law and fact. It exists in law
because it has complied with all the legal requirements; it exists in fact because it
actually operates as a corporation.
b. De facto corporation- a corporation which exist only in fact but not in law. It does
not exist in law because of non-compliance with certain legal requirements.
4. As to Law of Creation
a. Domestic corporation- a corporation that is organized under Philippine laws.
5. As to Extent of Membership
a. Open corporation- a corporation whose ownership is widely held by many
investors, usually a private stock corporation.
COMPONENTS OF A CORPORATION
1. Incorporators- they are the person who originally formed the corporation and whose
names appear in the Articles of Incorporation. They must be natural person as
distinguished from artificial person.
2. Corporators- they are the person who compose the corporation whether as
shareholders or members.
5. Promoters- they are the person who undertake to (a) form a company based on given
project, (b) set it going, and (c) take the necessary steps to accomplish the purpose for
which the corporation is organized.
6. Subscribers- they are the person who have agreed to take original, unissued shares but
will pay at a later date. They may be incorporators or not and they may eventually
become shareholders the moment the full payment of their subscription is made.
7. Underwriters- they are those who undertake to dispose of the share to the general
public.
ORGANIZING A CORPORATION
2. Incorporation- the process of formalizing the organization of the corporation. This stage
includes:
a. Drafting of the articles of incorporation which must be duly executed and
acknowledge before a notary-public.
b. Filing of the articles of incorporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) together with the statement showing that at least 25% of the total authorized
share capital (also known as authorized capital stock) has been subscribed and that
at least 25% of the total subscription have been paid.
c. After the required fees have been paid and upon approval of the articles of
incorporation, the SEC issues a certificate of incorporation, the date of which being
considered as the date of registration of incorporation.
3. Commencement of the business- the business should start its operation within two
years from the date of incorporation. Failure to do so will automatically dissolve the
corporation without the need of hearing.
Costs incurred during incorporation, such as filling fees, cost of printing stock certificates,
promoters’ commission and legal fees, are known as organization cost or pre-operating costs.
Under PAS 38 Intangible Assets, organization or pre-operating costs are charge to expense in
the period incurred.
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
The Articles of Incorporation enumerate the powers and limitations conferred upon the
corporation by the government. It includes the following information:
BY-LAWS
1. the date, place and manner of calling the annual shareholders’ (stockholders’) meeting;
2. the manner of conducting meetings;
3. the circumstances which may permit the calling of special meetings of the shareholders;
4. the manner of voting and the se of proxies;
5. the manner of electing the directors and the number of directors;
6. the term of office of the directors;
7. the authority and duties of the directors;
8. the manner of selecting the corporate officers;
9. the authority and responsibilities of the officers;
10. the procedure for amending the articles of incorporation; and
11. the procedure for amending the by-laws.
CORPORATE RECORDS
The corporation generally maintains the following records to keep track of its various
transactions:
Share capital is also known as capital stock. It is the amount fixed in the articles of
incorporation to be subscribed and paid in or secured to be paid-in by the shareholders of a
corporation either in money, property or services. The share capital is divided into shares
evidenced by a share certificate (stock certificate) that represents ownership in a corporation.
LEGAL CAPITAL. The portion of the paid-in capital arising from the issuance of share capital
which cannot be returned to the shareholders in any form during the lifetime of the corporation
for the protection of the corporate creditors. The amount of legal capital is determined as
follows: (Sec.6, par.3)
a. in case of par value shares – the legal capital is the aggregate par value of the shares
issued and subscribed.
b. In case of no-par value shares – the legal capital is the total consideration received from
shareholders including the excess over the stated value.
The maximum number of shares that a corporation may issue is termed as authorized
shares (both preference and ordinary shares). The authorized share capital (authorized
capital stock) is determined by multiplying the authorized shares by the par or stated value of
the share capital.
A corporation cannot issue shares more than the authorized shares stated in the articles
of incorporation. However, it may increase its authorized shares and authorized share capital by
amending its articles of incorporation.
A corporation may issue two classes of share capital, namely, 1.) ordinary share
capital (common stock) 2.) and preference share capital (preferred stock). When a single
class of share capital is issued, it is an ordinary share capital. Ordinary share capital entitles the
holder to an equal or pro-rata division of profits without any preference or advantage over any
class of shares. Preference share capital, on the other hand, entitles the holder to enjoy priority
as to distribution of dividends and distribution of assets upon corporate liquidation. Dividends
are corporate profits distributed to its shareholders.
Each share represents interest or rights of shareholders in the corporation. The following
are the rights of a shareholder:
If a corporation issues both preferences and ordinary share capital, the articles of
incorporation or the corporate by-laws should state the special features of each class of share
capital.
Preference and Ordinary share capital may be issued at par value, without par value but
with stated value, or no-par value and no stated value.
A par value share capital has a nominal or face value stated on the face of the stock
certificate and in the articles of incorporation.
A no-par but with stated value share capital has a nominal value stated in the articles
of incorporation but not on the face of the stock certificate.
A no-par, no stated value share capital has no nominal value stated either in the
articles of incorporation nor on the face of the stock certificate.
In our Corporation Code, a no-par share capital is to be issued for a consideration of not
less than five pesos (P5.00).
A preference share capital is generally issued with a par value and a dividend rate. The
holders of a preference shares have priority as to distribution of dividends and as to distribution
of assets in the event of corporate liquidation. However, this does not mean that the holders are
assured of regular receipt of dividends; rather, this means that dividend requirements on
preference shares must first be met before any payment san be made to holders of ordinary
shares.
A corporation may issue more than one class of preference shares. Generally,
preference shares may be classified as follows:
1. Cumulative preference shares- entitle the holders to the receipt of previous years’
unpaid dividends (i.e. dividends in arrears) before any payment can be made to
ordinary shareholders upon dividend declaration. This means that of dividends is not
declared in a particular year, the right to such dividend is not lost but carried forward
to a subsequent year.
5. Convertible preference shares- entitle the holders the option to exchange the
shares for some other securities of the issuing corporation, normally ordinary shares.
An ordinary share capital (common stock) represents residual ownership equity. The
holders of this class of share capital carry the greatest risks; however, they ordinarily share in
earnings to the greatest extent if the corporation is successful. Although the right to vote is a
basic right of all shareholders, it is frequently given exclusively to ordinary shareholders as long
as dividends are paid regularly to preference shareholders.
Authorized share capital may be recorded under the journal entry method or the
memorandum entry method. The entries under the two (2) methods to record authorized share

The entry to record authorized share capital is made in the general journal and is then
posted to the share capital account in the general ledger. If more than one class of share capital
are issued, a separate entry is made for each class of share capital and a separate account for
each class is maintained in the ledger.
The memorandum entry method enjoys popularity in use compared with the journal entry
method. For problem solving purposes, the memorandum entry method will be used if there is
no specification as to which method will be used.

Posting to the accounts in the general ledger is very important so that the corporation will be
able to monitor shares issued and avoid the issuance of shares more than what is authorized.
A share capital may be issued in exchange for cash, non-cash assets, services, liability
or other form of securities. It may be sold also on subscription basis. A share capital issued to
a shareholder is called an outstanding share.
The major issue on issuance of share capital is the basis for measurement of the
transaction. The discussion of the measurement standards will be based on the provision of
PRFS 2 Share-Based Payment and will be limited to issuance of share capital to non-
42 ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2
employees. The issuance of share capital to employees (such as share option and share
appreciation rights) will be discussed in financial accounting.
Share capital issued are recorded in the share capital account maintained for each class
of share capital. The discussions in the succeeding paragraphs are focused on the issuance of
various classes of shares in exchange for various considerations.
As discussed earlier, a par value share has a nominal value stated on the face of the
stock certificate. The following rules shall apply in the issuance of this class of share capital.
ISSUANCE FOR CASH. A share capital may be issued for cash equal to its par value,
above par value, or below par value. If cash received is equal to its par value, Cash is debited
and Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited.
If the share capital is sold or issued above its par value, Cash is debited for the amount
received, Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited at par value, and Share Premium
or Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par is credited for the excess of cash received over par value.
If the share capital is sold or issued below its par value, Cash is debited for the amount
received, Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited at par value, and Discount on
Share Capital is debited for the excess of par value over the amount of cash received. Under
the Corporation Code of the Philippines, however, the original issuance of share capital at a
discount is not allowed. Therefore, problems involving discounts are used in the book for
illustration purposes only.
Illustrative Problem B: Ellen Corporation was organized on January 1, 2019 and is authorized
to issue 100,000 shares of P10 par value ordinary share. Subsequently, 20,000 shares were
sold.
The entries to record the sale of shares under two method of recording share capital using three
independent cases are presented below and on the next page.

ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2 43
It should be noted that the basic difference between the memorandum entry method and
the journal entry method is the account to be credited upon issuance of the share capital.
Under the memorandum entry method, the Share Capital account is credited upon
issuance of the stock. The balance of this account represents the amount of capital stock or
share capital issued to shareholders.
Under the journal entry method, the Unissued Share Capital account is credited upon
issuance of the share capital thereby reducing the balance of this account. The balance of this
account represent the amount of authorized share capital not yet issued and is deducted from
the balance of Authorized Share Capital account to determine the amount of share capital
already issued to shareholders.
Upon issuance of the stock, Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited at par
value. The excess of the value assigned to the assets received over the par value of the stock
issued is credited to Share Premium or Additional Paid-in Capital, or Share Capital in Excess of
Par. (Note: original issuance of share capital at less than its par value is prohibited under our
Corporation Code.
In some instances, the value assigned to the asset received is overstated or understand.
When the value assigned to the asset received in exchange for share capital is overstated then
the share capital issued is called watered share capital. The overstatement is done to comply
with requirement of the law that the share capital should not be issued at less than its par value.
When the value of the asset received is understated, the share capital is said to contain secret
reserves.
Illustrative Problem C: Ellen Corporation issued 9,000 share of its P10 par value ordinary
share capital in exchange for land. The entries to record the issuance of the share capital under
the memorandum entry method using three independent cases are given on below and on the
next page.

Ordinary Share Premium 75,000
9,000sh x P10 = P90,000
P165,000 – P90,000= P75,000
Case 2- The land has no known market value. The fair of ordinary share capital on the date of
exchange is P14.
If the journal entry method is used instead of the memorandum entry method, Unissued
Ordinary Share Capital should have been credited instead of Ordinary Share Capital.
If the shares are issued for services rendered during incorporation, Pre-Operation
Expense is debited, Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited at par value: Share
Capital in Excess of Par, or Additional Paid-in Capital or Share Premium is credited for any
excess of the value assigned to pre-operating expenses and the par value of the share capital.
Illustrative Problem D: Ellen Corporation issued 1,200 shares of P8 par value ordinary share
capital in payment for the services of the lawyer rendered during incorporation.
Case 2- There is no known fair market value for the services of the lawyer. The fair market
value of the ordinary share capital issued is P12 per share.
1,200sh x P4 = P4,800
SALE OF SHARE CAPITAL ON A SUBSCRIPTION BASIS. Subscription is a contract
between a subscriber (buyer of share capital) and a corporation (seller or issuer of share
capital) whereby the former purchases shares of stock of the latter with the payment to be made
at a future date. The corporation issues the corresponding stock certificate upon full payment of
subscription. This practice is a mean of encouraging subscribers to pay their unpaid
subscription on time.
Sales of share capital on a subscription basis generally involves three major transactions
– (1) receipt of subscription, (2) collection from subscribers, and (3) issuance of stock certificate
upon full payment of subscription. Entries required for these transactions are given below.
It should be noted that the Share Capital Subscribed account is always credited at par
value, regardless of the subscription price.

The same rules discussed in the issuance of share capital with a par value are
applicable. The account Share Capital in Excess of Stated Value may be used instead of the
account Share Premium or Share Capital in Excess of Par.
ISSUANCE FOR CASH. A share capital may be sold for cash at its stated value, at
more than stated value, or at less than stated value. If cash received is equal to stated value,
Cash is debited and Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited.
If the share capital is sold or issued at more than its stated value, Cash is debited for the
amount receive, Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited at stated value, and Paid-
in Capital in Excess of Stated Value is credited for the excess of cash received over the stated
value.
If the share capital is sold or issued at less than its stated value, Cash is debited for the
amount received, Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited at stated value, and
Discount on Share Capital is debited for the excess of stated value over the amount of cash
received. (Note: Under the Corporation Code of the Philippines, however, the original issuance
of share capital at a discount is not allowed). Therefore, problems involving discounts are used
in the book for illustration purposes only.
The entries to record the sale of share capital under the memorandum entry method of
recording share capital using three independent cases are as follows:

notices to him, his subscribed shares are declared delinquent shares. His subscription is
declared delinquent subscription. Such delinquent subscription is then offered for sale in a
public auction and delinquent shares are issued to the highest bidder. The highest bidder is the
one who is willing to pay the unpaid subscription plus any expense incurred in connection with
the delinquency sale and is willing to receive the least number of shares.
The following entries are made in relation to subscription defaults and issuance of stock
certificates.

excess, if any, are given to the defaulting subscriber.
If there is no bidder, all of the delinquent shares will be issued in the name of the
corporation. Such shares are considered treasury share and the following entries will be made,
after making the entries (a) and (b) above.

If the books of the partnership are retained, the following steps in recording the
incorporation will be followed:
1. Revalue the net assets of the partnership (i.e. assets and liabilities). Adjustments in
assets and liability balances may be reported through a revaluation account called
Capital Adjustment Account or recorded directly to the capital accounts of the
partners.
2. Recognize goodwill. The total value of the share capital to be issued is compared
with the adjusted fair value of the net assets received from the partnership. The
excess of the total value of the share capital over the adjusted fair value of net
assets is payment for goodwill.
If a new set of books is opened for the corporation, the following shall be recorded in the

MODULE 4
CORPORATE OPERATIONS
(DIVIDENDS, BOOK VALUE PER SHARE, AND EARNINGS PER SHARE)
OVERVIEW
A company can change its value of operations only if it changes the cost of capital or
investors’ perceptions regarding expected free cash flow. In practice, the distribution decision is
made jointly with capital structure and capital budgeting decisions. The underlying reason for
joining these decisions is asymmetric information, which influences managerial actions in two
ways.
Dividend changes provide signals about managers’ beliefs concerning their firms’
prospects. Thus, dividend reductions generally have a significant negative effect on a firm’s
stock price. Since managers recognize this, they try to set peso dividends low enough that there
is only a remote chance the dividend will have to be reduced in the future.
Book value per share represents the equity of an ordinary shareholder in net assets of the
corporation.
Earnings per share indicates the amount of earnings available for every share held by an
ordinary shareholder.
MODULE OBJECTIVES
Introduction to Dividend
There are only five potentially “good” ways to use free cash flow: (1) pay interest
expenses, (2) pay down the principal on debt, (3) pay dividends, (4) repurchase stock, or (5)
buy nonoperating assets such as Treasury bills or other marketable securities.
A company’s capital structure choice determines its payments for interest expenses and
debt principal. A company’s value typically increases over time, even if the company is mature,
which implies its debt will also increase over time if the company maintains a target capital
structure. If a company instead were to pay off its debt, then it would lose valuable tax shields
associated with the deductibility of interest expenses. Therefore, most companies make net
additions to debt over time rather than net repayments, even if FCF is positive. This “negative
use” of FCF provides even more FCF for the other uses.
It is also important to evaluate the company’s working capital policies and determine its
level of marketable securities which recognizes the decision between its benefits and costs of
having a large investment. In terms of benefits, a large investment in marketable securities
reduces the risk of financial distress should there be an economic downturn. If investment
opportunities turn out to be better than expected, marketable securities provide a ready source
of funding that will not incur the flotation or signaling costs due to raising external funds. There
64 ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2
is a potential agency cost if a company has a large investment in marketable securities, then
managers might be tempted to squander the money on perks or high-priced acquisitions.
The optimal distribution policy strikes a balance between current dividends and future
growth so as to maximize the firm’s stock price. Miller and Modigliani (MM) developed the
dividend irrelevance theory, which holds that a firm’s dividend policy has no effect on either the
value of its stock or its cost of capital. The dividend preference theory, also called the bird-in-
the-hand theory, holds that the firm’s value will be maximized by a high dividend payout ratio,
because investors regard cash dividends as being less risky than potential capital gains. The
tax effect theory states that because long-term capital gains are subject to lower taxes than
dividends, investors prefer to have companies retain earnings rather than pay them out as
dividends.
Dividend policy should take account of the information content of dividends (signaling)
and the clientele effect. The information content, or signaling, effect stems from investors
regarding an unexpected dividend change as a signal of management’s forecast of future
earnings. The clientele effect suggests that a firm will attract investors who like the firm’s
dividend payout policy. Both factors should be taken into account by firms that are considering a
change in dividend policy.
A. Cash dividends
The cash dividend should be set so that there is an extremely low probability that
the dividend, once set, will ever have to be lowered or omitted. The dividend
decision is made during the planning process, so there is uncertainty about future
investment opportunities and operating cash flows. The actual payout ratio in any
year will therefore likely be above or below the firm’s long-range target.
ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2 65
In general, firms with superior investment opportunities should set lower payouts,
and hence retain more earnings, than firms with poor investment opportunities.
The degree of uncertainty also influences the decision. If there is a great deal of
uncertainty regarding the forecasts of free cash flows, which are defined here as
the firm’s operating cash flows minus mandatory equity investments, then it is
best to be conservative and to set a lower cash dividend. Firms can afford to set
a higher cash dividend, because of an increasing retained earnings and cash
balance available for dividends. There are three important dates in the payment
of cash dividends:
Declaration date
On the declaration date, the Board of Directors meet and declare the regular
dividend, issuing a statement similar to the following: “On November 11, 2020,
the directors of ABC Corporation met and declared the regular quarterly dividend
of P0.50 per share, payable to shareholders of record as of December 10, 2020,
payment to be made on January 7, 2021.”
Record date
whose names are listed as of the record date will receive the cash dividends on
the date of payment. No journal entry is recorded in the accounting book of the
corporation.
Payment date
The company actually pays the dividend on January 7, the payment date, to the
shareholders of record. The journal entry is:
B. Share Dividend
A share dividend is a pro-rata distribution of the corporation’s own share capital to its
shareholders. It will not affect total assets and total shareholders’ equity. It represents a
transfer of an amount from retained earnings to contributed capital.
Share dividends are similar to stock splits in that they “divide the pie into smaller slices”
without affecting the fundamental position of the current stockholders’ equity. On a 5% stock
dividend, the holder of 100 shares would receive an additional 5 shares (without cost); on a 20%
stock dividend, the same holder would receive 20 new shares; and so on.
The total number of shares is increased, so earnings, dividends, and price per share all
decline. If a firm wants to reduce the price of its stock, should it use a stock split or a stock
dividend? Stock splits are generally used after a sharp price run-up to produce a large price
reduction. Stock dividends used on a regular annual basis will keep the stock price more or less
constrained. For example, if a firm’s earnings and dividends were growing at about 10% per
year, its stock price would tend to go up at about that same rate, and it would soon be outside
the desired trading range. A 10% annual stock dividend would maintain the stock price within
the optimal trading range. Note, however, that small stock dividends create bookkeeping
problems and unnecessary expenses, so firms today use stock splits far more often than stock
dividends.
If a company splits its stock or declares a stock dividend, will this increase the market
value of its stock? Many empirical studies have sought to answer this question. Here is a
summary of their findings.
On average, the price of a company’s stock rises shortly after it announces a stock split or
a stock dividend. However, these price increases are probably due to signaling rather than a
desire for stock splits or dividends per share. Only managers who think future earnings will be
higher tend to split stocks, so investors often view the announcement of a stock split as a
positive signal. Thus, it is the signal of favorable prospects for earnings and dividends that
causes the price to increase.
ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2 67
If a company announces a stock split or stock dividend, its price will tend to rise because
stock splits may reduce the liquidity of a company’s shares. This particular piece of evidence
suggests that stock splits/dividends might actually be harmful, although a lower price does
mean that more investors can afford to trade in round lots (100 shares), which carry lower
commissions than do odd lots (fewer than 100 shares). What can we conclude from all this?
From a purely economic standpoint, stock dividends and splits are just additional pieces of
paper. However, they provide management with a relatively low-cost way of signaling that the
firm’s prospects look good.
Further, we should note that since few large, publicly owned stocks sell at prices above
several hundred pesos, we simply do not know what the effect would be if highly successful
firms had never split their stocks and consequently sold at prices in the thousand pesos. All in
all, it probably makes sense to employ stock splits (or stock dividends) when a firm’s prospects
are favorable, especially if the price of its stock has gone beyond the normal trading range.
There are two kinds of share dividends declaration, namely: Small share dividend, and
Large share dividend.
I. Small share dividend is when the corporation declared below 20% share
dividend. When the proportion of the additional shares issued is small in relation
to the shares previously issued and outstanding, the current market value of the
additional shares should be transferred from retained earnings to contributed
capital.
Declaration date
On the declaration date, the Board of Directors meet and declare the share
dividend, issuing a statement similar to the following: “On August 8, 2020, the
directors of BCD Corporation met and declared a 10% share dividend to
shareholders of record as of October 5, 2020, payment to be made on December
15, 2020.”
For accounting purposes, the retained earnings are debited for the market value
of the shares to be issued and share distributable is credited equal to the par or
stated value of the shares to be issued, and the excess of the market value over
par value is credited to share premium. Assuming the corporation has 1.5 million
shares issued and outstanding at a par value is P1.0 per share and current
market price is P1.25 per share. The journal entry is:
68 ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2
Record date
Payment date
The company actually pays the dividend on December 15, the payment date, to
the shareholders of record. The journal entry is:
II. Large share dividend is when the corporation declared at least 20% share
dividend. When the proportion of the additional shares issued is small in relation
to the shares previously issued and outstanding, the current market value of the
additional shares should be transferred from retained earnings to contributed
capital.
Declaration date
On the declaration date, the Board of Directors meet and declare the share
dividend, issuing a statement similar to the following: “On September 4, 2020, the
directors of CDE Corporation met and declared a 25% share dividend to
shareholders of record as of November 17, 2020, payment to be made on
December 28, 2020.”
For accounting purposes, the retained earnings are debited for the market value
of the shares to be issued and share distributable is credited equal to the par or
stated value of the shares to be issued, and no share premium is recognized.
Assuming the corporation has 2.5 million shares issued and outstanding at a par
value is P10.0 per share. The journal entry is:
ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2 69
Record date
Payment date
The company actually pays the dividend on December 28, the payment date, to
the shareholders of record. The journal entry is:
C. Property Dividend
A property dividend is a non-cash asset such as inventories and securities held by the
corporation as investment to be distributed to the shareholders.
Declaration date
On the declaration date, the Board of Directors meet and declare the property
dividend, issuing a statement similar to the following: “On June 6, 2020, the
directors of XYZ Corporation met and declared a property dividend of one share
FYI Corporation ordinary share for every ten shares XYZ Corporation ordinary
share to shareholders of record as of August 15, 2020, payment to be made on
October 2, 2020.”. FYI Corporation ordinary shares are held by XYZ Corporation
as equity investments at a fair value through profit or loss and have a carrying
value (with equal amount of market value) of P 15 per share. Assuming the XYZ
Corporation has 500,000 shares issued and outstanding. The journal entry is:
Record date
Payment date
The company actually pays the dividend on October 2 to the shareholders of record. On
the payment date, the liability for property dividend shall be remeasured at a fair value of
the non-cash assets to be distributed, followed by an entry for the settlement. The
settlement is recorded by debiting liability at the adjusted value and a credit to an asset
at the carrying value.
70 ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2
In case, the current value is not equal to market value of the assets held for
distribution at the end of the accounting period, the difference being credited or
debited to Gain or Loss on Disposal of the Asset.
Scrip Dividend
A scrip dividend is declared when a corporation has sufficient retained earnings but not
sufficient cash balance for payment of dividends to be distributed to the shareholders.
Declaration date
On the declaration date, the Board of Directors meet and declare the scrip
dividend, issuing a statement similar to the following: “On June 1, 2020, the
directors of ACS Corporation met and declared a 20% scrip dividend to
shareholders to be made on December 31, 2020 with an interest rate of 10%”.
Assuming the ACS Corporation has 1,500,000 shares issued and outstanding at
a par value of P1. The journal entry is:
Record date
Payment date
A stock split increases the number of shares outstanding. Splits reduce the price per
share in proportion to the increase in shares because splits merely “divide the pie into smaller
slices.” However, firms generally split their stocks only if (1) the price is quite high and (2)
management thinks the future is bright. Therefore, stock splits are often taken as positive
signals and thus boost stock prices.
A share dividend is a dividend paid in additional shares rather than in cash. Both stock
dividends and splits are used to keep stock prices within an “optimal” trading range.
Preference Share
Preference share is a hybrid and it is similar to bonds in some respects and to ordinary
shares in others. Like bonds, preference share has a par value, and a fixed amount of dividends
must be paid before dividends can be paid on the ordinary share. However, if the preference
dividend is not earned, the directors can omit (or “pass”) it without throwing the company into
bankruptcy. Although preference share has a fixed payment like bonds, a failure to make this
payment will not lead to bankruptcy. The dividends on preference shares are fixed, and if they
are scheduled to go on forever, the issue is a perpetuity.
Preference share has priority over ordinary share in terms of dividends. The corporation
shall see to it that there is enough amount to satisfy the dividend requirement of the preference
share before any amount is allocated to ordinary share.
The allocation of cash dividends between the preference share and the ordinary share
depends on the type of preference share issued by the corporation. Preference share can be
cumulative or non-cumulative and participating or non-participating.
Assume the BGC Corporation has the following information at December 31, 2019:
BGC Corporation declared and paid the cash dividends for the years 2017 to 2019, as follows:
The share capital balances remained unchanged for the years 2017 to 2019.
To determine the allocation of dividends between the preference and ordinary shares, the
following independent cases will be applied to BGC Corporation:
It is noted that the computation is the same as case no. 1 because the corporation as no
loss.
It is noted that the computation is the same as case no. 1 because the
corporation as no loss.
Book value per share represents the equity of an ordinary shareholder in net
assets of the corporation. In the event of corporate liquidation, if assets were realized
and liabilities were settled at their carrying amounts, a shareholder would receive an
amount equal to book value per share, in settlement of his equity.
When a corporation has only one class of share capital issued and outstanding, the book
value per share is computed by dividing the total shareholders’ equity by the total number of
ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
When the company has both preference and ordinary shares, the preference share is
given a priority on the assets over the ordinary shares. Below is the illustration on how to
compute for the book value per share:
ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2 75
Assume the following capital structure of BGC Corporation at December 31, 2019:
Assume that preference shares are in arrears for two years (2015 to 2016). The book value per
share is computed as follows:
It indicates the amount of earnings available to ordinary shareholders. This is calculated as the
profit available to ordinary shareholders divided by the average number of outstanding ordinary
shares. The following worksheet is used to compute the EPS:

MODULE 5
OVERVIEW
MODULE OBJECTIVES
1. Treasury Shares
a. Mode of Acquisition
❖ Acquisition by purchase
❖ Acquisition by donation
b. Method of Accounting for the Acquisition of Treasury Shares
➢ Cost Method
➢ Par Value Method
When a share capital (capital stock) is fully paid, a stock certificate is issued to the
shareholder and the stock becomes outstanding. Subsequent to the original issuance, various
capital share transactions may take place. These transactions may cause a change in total
shareholder’s equity of the company or in the number of shares outstanding. These share
capital transactions include the following:
1. Share capital reacquisition
2. Share capital retirement
3. Conversion of preference shares into ordinary shares
4. Share (stock) split
5. Recapitalization
market price of its stock is too low. If a corporation reacquires a significant amount of its own
stock, the corporation's earnings per share may increase because there are fewer shares
outstanding.
If a corporation reacquires some of its stock and does not retire those shares, the shares
are called treasury stock. Treasury stock reflects the difference between the number of
shares issued and the number of shares outstanding. When a corporation holds treasury
stock, a debit balance exists in the general ledger account, Treasury Stock (a contra
stockholders' equity account). There are two methods of recording treasury stock:
(1) the cost method, and
(2) the par value method.
The practice of reacquiring one’s own capital share is done for the following reasons:
a. REAQCQUISITION BY PURCHASE.
Treasury shares may be acquired by purchase and the reacquisition will be accounted for using
the cost method or par value method. The cost method is widely used, and the par value
method is used in practice only rarely
COST METHOD
Under the cost method, the reacquired shares are viewed as capital elements awaiting ultimate
disposition. Treasury shares are recorded at cost. When the shares are reissued at more than
cost, the indicated gain is credited to an additional paid-in capital account, Paid-In Capital from
Sale of Treasury Shares. When the shares are reissued at less than cost, the indicated loss is
debited to the following accounts in the order shown below:
(a) Additional paid-in capital from treasury share transactions of the same class of share
capital, and
(b) Retained earnings.
The balance of the treasury shares account is resorted as a deduction from the sum of total
contributed capital and retained earnings.
The reacquisition of a company’s own shares reduces the number of outstanding shares but
does not affect the number of issued shares. Treasury shares are not entitled to receipt of
dividends because they are not outstanding. Retained Earnings, however, must be appropriated
equal to the cost of the treasury shares acquired.
80 ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2
Illustrative Problem A: The shareholders’ equity of Panalo Corp. included the following items:
On June 1,2020, 1,000 shares were reacquired at P25. On June 30, 900 shares were reissued
at P35.
Entries to record the foregoing and the shareholders’ equity section of the statement of financial
position as of September 30 are presented below and on the next page.

Total Shareholder's Equity P2,006,500
ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2 81
If the corporation were to sell some of its treasury stock, the cash received is debited to
Cash, the cost of the shares sold is credited to the stockholders' equity account Treasury Stock,
and the difference goes to another stockholders' equity account, Paid in capital from sale of
treasury stock. Note that the difference does not go to an income statement account, as there
can be no income statement recognition of gains or losses on treasury stock transactions.
If the corporation sells any of its treasury stock for less than its cost, the cash received is
debited to Cash, the cost of the shares sold is credited to Treasury Stock, and the difference
("loss") is debited to Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock (so long as the balance in that account
will not become a debit balance). If the "loss" is larger than the credit balance, part of the "loss"
is recorded in Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock (up to the amount of the credit balance) and
the remainder is debited to Retained Earnings. To illustrate this rule, let's look at a transaction
where treasury stock is sold for less than cost.
We will continue with our example from above. Recall that the cost of the corporation's treasury
stock is P25 per share. The corporation now sells 100 shares of treasury stock for P20 per
share and receives cash of 2,000. As mentioned previously, the P5 "loss" per share (P20
proceeds minus the P25 cost) cannot appear on the income statement. Instead the "loss" goes
directly to the account Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock (if the account's credit balance is
greater than the "loss" amount). Since the P2,500 credit balance in Paid-in Capital from
Treasury Stock is greater than the P500 debit, the entire 500 is debited to that account: The
entry will then be:
Page
Let us illustrate a loss that is greater than the Paid in capital from sale of treasury stock. In the
same Panalo Corporation details except that the 900 shares instead of being sold at P35, was
sold at 25.50 hence there would only be Paid in capital from sale of treasury stock in the amount
of P450 (.5x900), and the remaining stocks of 100 were sold at P20. There will be a P500 loss
computed by deducting from the P25 cost the P20 selling price multiplied by the number of
shares sold. The entry to record this new transaction will be as follows:]
Page
The transactions relating to purchase and sale of treasury stock are generally accounted for
using one of the two methods. The cost method was illustrated using Problem A, the par value
method will be illustrated here using Problem B.
When a company purchases its own shares and uses par value method for accounting purpose,
the treasury stock account is debited with the total par value of shares acquired and cash
account is credited with the amount of cash paid. If the debit part of the journal entry exceeds
the credit part, the difference is credited to the additional paid-in capital from treasury stock and
if, on the other hand, credit part of the journal entry exceeds the debit part, the difference is
debited to the additional paid-in capital from treasury stock and if additional paid in capital from
treasury stock is not available or is not sufficient, retained earnings account is debited with the
rest of the amount.
Under par value method, when shares of treasury stock are reissued, the cash account is
debited with the amount of cash received and treasury stock is credited with the par value of
shares reissued. If the amount of cash received is more than the total par value of shares
reissued, the difference is credited to the additional paid-in capital from treasury stock and if, on
the other hand, the amount of cash received is less than the total par value of shares reissued,
the difference is debited to the additional paid-in capital from treasury stock and if additional
paid in capital from treasury stock is not available or is not sufficient, the retained earnings
account is debited with the rest of the amount.
1. Jan 10, 2020- Issued 2,000 shares of P5 par value ordinary shares at P20 per share.
2. April 12, 2020 -Bought back 300 shares at P18 per share.
3. August 11, 2020 -Bought back 400 shares at P25 per share.
4. September 26, 2020 -Reissued 200 shares at P30 per share.
Required: Prepare journal entries using above transactions. Assume Nanalo Corporation uses
par value method of treasury stock.

We have here ordinary shares, 5 / share, premium on ordinary shares 15 / share total 20.
(2000*20=P40,000 cash received), when the company buys 300 treasury stocks using par value
method, we should reduce ordinary share by the par value amount (5 *300=1500). also
Premium on ordinary share is reduced by (15*300=4500). the P 600 is an increase in Paid in
capital because the company bought the shares at lower price than it was originally sold,
calculated as follows (18 – 20 * 300 =P600)
Available additional paid-in capital from treasury stock (see journal entry No. 2)
Retained earnings account has been debited with the balancing amount (10,000 – 2,000 –
6,000 – 600)
Page
b. REACQUISITION BY DONATION
Treasury shares may be acquired through donation by shareholders. This practice is done by
shareholders to enable the company to increase its working capital and at the same time
maintain their proportionate ownership interests.
Upon receipt of capital shares as donation, a memorandum entry is made stating the number of
shares received. Subsequent sale of donated shares is recorded by debiting Cash and crediting
Donated Capital or Paid-In capital from Donated Shares for the entire proceeds.
Alternatively, the receipt and the subsequent sale of the donated shares may be recorded as
follows:
Upon receipt
Treasury shares xxx
Donated Capital xxx
(amount recorded is the fair value of the sahres on the date of donation)
The retirement of share capital will reduce both the number of shares issued and the number of
shares outstanding.
ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2 85
Illustrative Problem C: The shareholders’ equity section of the statement of financial position
of Double Deck Co. contains the following:
Preference share capital, P100 par, 10,000 shares P1,000,000
Preference share premium 250,000
Retained earnings 800,000
Based on the above data, the original issuance price of each preference share is P125, that is,
the par value of P100 per share and the share premium of P25 per share (P250,000/10,000
shares).
One thousand (1,000) shares of preference share capital were reacquired and retired. Entries to
record the retirement using two independent cases follow:
Case 1- The retirement price is P110
Preference Share Capital 100,000
Preference Share Premium 25,000
Cash 110,000
Paid-In-Capital from Retirement of Preference 15,000
Shares
1,000 sh x P100=P100,000
1,000 sh x P25= P25,000
1,000 sh x P110 = P110,000
1,000 sh x P15 = P15,000
1,000 sh x P100=P100,000
1,000 sh x P25= P25,000
1,000 sh x P5 = P5,000
1,000 sh x P130=P130,000
The debit to Retained Earnings of P5,000 or P5.00 for every share retired is the excess of the
retirement price of P130 over the original issuance price of P125.
3. CONVERSION OF PREFERENCE SHARES INTO ORDINARY SHARES
Convertible preference shares can be converted into ordinary shares at the option of the holder.
This type of preference share capital can be sold at a higher price but at a lower dividend rate
because of its conversion privilege. When investors own convertible preferred shares, they may
convert the shares into common stock any time after the conversion date stated on the
preferred share purchase agreement. A company can also include an option in the purchase
agreement that gives it the ability to force the conversion of outstanding preferred shares. In a
forced conversion, investors must convert their preferred shares into a specific number of
common shares, whether they want to convert or not.
When investors convert their preferred shares to common shares, the company debits the
preferred stock account and credits the common stock account. If the common stock price at the
time of conversion is more than the par value of the preferred stock then the company debits
retained earnings for the difference between the two prices. If investors paid a premium on the
preferred stock at the time of purchase, the company must also make adjusting entries to the
additional paid in capital accounts. The accounting for conversion of preference shares into
ordinary shares is similar to retirement of share capital. Account balances related to the
86 ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2
preference shares converted are cancelled and the issuance of ordinary shares is recorded. An
indicated gain from conversion is credited to Paid-In Capital from Conversion of Preference
Shares into Ordinary Shares; an indicated loss from conversion is debited to Retained Earnings.
Illustrative Problem D: The Singlebed Corporation’s shareholders’ equity contains the
following:
Ordinary share capital, P10 par, 50,000 shares P500,000
Ordinary share premium 100,000
10% Preference share capital, P100, 5,000 shares 500,000
Preference share premium 50,000
Retained Earnings 750,000
Case 2- Eight ordinary shares were issued for every preference share
Preference Share Capital 100,000
Preference Share Premium 10,000
Ordinary Share Capital 80,000
Paid-in Capital from Conversion of Preference Share into 30,000
Ordinary Shares
1,000 sh x P100 = P100,000
1,000 sh x P10 = P10,000
1,000 sh x 8 sh x P10 = P80,000
P110,000 – P80,000 = 30,000
Preference share premium (additional paid in capital) is the amount of money investors paid for
the preference share at purchase in excess of par value. Mathematically, Preference share
premium is the issue price of the preference share minus its par value multiplied by the number
of preference shares issued. If this excess exists, then the company debits the Preference
share premium account and credits Paid in capital from conversion of preference share into
ordinary shares. Just like in the retirement of share capital and acquisition of treasury shares, no
gain or loss is recognized on the conversion of preference shares into ordinary shares.
4. SHARE (STOCK) SPLITS AND REVERSE SHARE (STOCK) SPLITS
When the market price of the shares is high and the corporation feels that a lower price will
result in a wider distribution of ownership, it may authorize the replacement of outstanding
shares by a larger number of shares. The increase in the number of shares outstanding in this
manner is called share (stock) split or share split-up. A stock split involves increasing the
number of shares outstanding with a corresponding decrease in the par value. However, just
like a stock dividend, this is a non-event as far as the total value of the company is concerned.
Although the number of shares increases by the split factor (the ratio of new shares to the old
ACCO 20043 Financial Accounting and Reporting Part 2 87
shares), the market price per share decreases by exactly the same factor. If a corporation has
1,000 shares of P10 par common stock outstanding and decides to order a two-for-one split,
where there was previously one share, there are now two shares. Because nothing else has
changed, the price per share decreases exactly by one-half after the split. (Just because a pizza
is cut into eight slices as opposed to four slices does not mean that the total amount of pizza
available has increased. It means only that the number of pizza slices has doubled.) For
instance, 10,000 ordinary shares with a par value of P10 are replaced by 20,000 ordinary
shares with a par value of P5. This type of transaction is described as a share split of 2 for 1-two
new shares are issued in exchange for one old share. The par value is subsequently reduced to
P5. (P10/2)
The reverse procedure, that is, the replacement of shares outstanding by a smaller number of
shares with an increase in par value, is called reverse share split or a share split down. A
reverse share split has the opposite effect on a security than a share split -up does; with a
reverse split, the market price of the security increases and the number of shares decreases. As
with stock splits, the overall market value of the securities does not change. A company may
reverse split its stock if the market price gets low, whereby potential investors may think the
company has a problem.
In the event of a reverse split, investors usually have to send in their old shares to the transfer
agent to receive the new shares. If a company were executing a 1-for-3 reverse split, investors
would receive one new share for every three they sent in.
This is desirable when the market price of the shares is low and it is felt that assigning a higher
price for the shares offers certain advantages. For instance, 10,000 ordinary shares with a par
value of P10 are replaced by 5,000 ordinary shares with a par value of P20. This type of
transaction is described as a share split of 1 for 2-one new share is issued in exchange for two
old shares. The par value is subsequently increased to P20 (P10 x 2).
A share split is recorded by a memorandum entry. The entry should state the new number of
shares and the new par value of the shares. Alternatively, a journal entry may be prepared
canceling the old issue and recording the new issue. Using the example in the first paragraph,
the share split of 2 for 1 may be recorded as follows:
Ordinary Share Capital, P10 par 100,000
Ordinary Share Capital, P5 par 100,000
It should be noted that a share split will not affect total shareholder’s equity nor total share
capital. It will simply change the number of shares outstanding and the par value per share of
stock.
5. RECAPITALIZATION
Corporate recapitalization takes place when an entire issue of share capital is changed by
appropriate action of the corporation. The typical types of recapitalization are as follows:
1. Change from par to no-par share capital and vice-versa
2. Reduction in the par or stated value of share capital
Recapitalization is normally undertaken to establish an additional paid-in capital account that will
be used in capital restructuring. This type of transaction requires the setting up of capital
accounts related to the new issue and the cancellation of account balance related to the old
issue. (Capital restructuring will be discussed in a higher accounting subject)
