FORMING A CORPORATION Initial Steps:
File application with the Secretary of State. State grants charter. Corporation develops by-laws. Companies generally incorporate in a state whose laws are favorable to the corporate form of business (Delaware, New Jersey). Corporations engaged in interstate commerce must obtain a license from each state in which they do business. LO 1

STOCK ISSUE CONSIDERATIONS
Authorized Stock Charter indicates the amount of stock that a corporation is authorized to sell. Number of authorized shares is often reported in the stockholders’ equity section. LO 1
22
STOCK ISSUE CONSIDERATIONS
Issuance of Stock Corporation can issue common stock directly to investors or indirectly through an investment banking firm. Top five exchanges by value of shares traded: New York Stock Exchange Nasdaq stock market London Stock Exchange Tokyo Stock Exchange Euronext LO 1
23
STOCK ISSUE CONSIDERATIONS
Par and No-Par Value Stocks Par value stock is capital stock that has been assigned a value per share. Years ago, par value determined the legal capital per share that a company must retain in the business for the protection of corporate creditors. Many states do not require a par value. No-par value stock is fairly common. In many states the board of directors assigns a stated value to no-par shares. LO 1
24
STOCK ISSUE CONSIDERATIONS
Review Question Which of these statements is false? Ownership of common stock gives the owner a voting right. The stockholders’ equity section begins with paid-in capital. The authorization of capital stock does not result in a formal accounting entry. Legal capital is intended to protect stockholders. LO 1
25
Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Two Primary Sources of Equity
CORPORATE CAPITAL Common Stock Account Paid-in Capital Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Account Preferred Stock Account Two Primary Sources of Equity Retained Earnings Account Paid-in capital is the total amount of cash and other assets paid in to the corporation by stockholders in exchange for shares of ownership.

1 DO IT! Corporate Organization False True False False False
Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. Similar to partners in a partnership, stockholders of a corporation have unlimited liability. It is relatively easy for a corporation to obtain capital through the issuance of stock. The separation of ownership and management is an advantage of the corporate form of business. The journal entry to record the authorization of capital stock includes a credit to the appropriate capital stock account. All states require a par value per share for capital stock. False True False False False LO 1
28
2 ACCOUNTING FOR COMMON STOCK Primary objectives:
Explain how to account for the issuance of common and preferred stock, and the purchase of treasury stock. LEARNING OBJECTIVE 2 ACCOUNTING FOR COMMON STOCK Primary objectives: Identify the specific sources of paid-in capital. Maintain the distinction between paid-in capital and retained earnings. Other than consideration received, the issuance of common stock affects only paid-in capital accounts. LO 2
29
Issuing Par Value Common Stock for Cash
Illustration: Assume that Hydro-Slide, Inc. issues 2,000 shares of $1 par value common stock. Prepare Hydro-Slide’s journal entry if (a) 1,000 share are issued for $1 per share, and (b) 1,000 shares are issued for $5 per share. (a) Cash 1,000 Common Stock (1,000 x $1) 1,000 (b) Cash 5,000 Common Stock (1,000 x $1) 1,000 Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value 4,000 LO 2

Review Question ABC Corp. issues 1,000 shares of $10 par value common stock at $12 per share. When the transaction is recorded, credits are made to: Common Stock $10,000 and Paid-in Capital in Excess of Stated Value $2,000. Common Stock $12,000. Common Stock $10,000 and Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value $2,000. Common Stock $10,000 and Retained Earnings $2,000. LO 2
32
ACCOUNTING FOR PREFERRED STOCK
Typically, preferred stockholders have a priority in relation to dividends and assets in the event of liquidation. However, they sometimes do not have voting rights. Each paid-in capital account title should identify the stock to which it relates: Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value—Preferred Stock Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value—Common Stock LO 2
33
Preferred stock may have a par value or no-par value.

36
TREASURY STOCK Treasury stock is a corporation’s own stock that has been reacquired by the corporation and is being held for future use. Corporations purchase their outstanding stock: To reissue shares to officers and employees under bonus and stock compensation plans. To increase trading of the company’s stock in the securities market. To have additional shares available for use in acquiring other companies. To increase earnings per share. Another infrequent reason is to eliminate hostile shareholders. LO 2
37
TREASURY STOCK Purchase of Treasury Stock
Generally accounted for by the cost method. Debit Treasury Stock for the price paid. Treasury stock is a contra stockholders’ equity account, not an asset. Treasury Stock decreases by the same amount when the company later sells the shares. LO 2

Purchase of Treasury Stock
Review Question Treasury stock may be repurchased: to reissue the shares to officers and employees under bonus and stock compensation plans. to signal to the stock market that management believes the stock is underpriced. to have additional shares available for use in the acquisition of other companies. More than one of the above. LO 2
