Explanation / Answer

1. Journal entries:

a. Jan 1 Cash (Dr) $990,000

Common Stock (Cr) $550,000

Paid in capital (Cr) $440,000

(Cash = 110,000 shares *$9, common stock = 110,000 shares*$5 (par value). Premium = 990,000-550,000 = 440,000 goes to paid in capital account).

b. Feb 15

Cash (Dr) $80,000

Common Stock (Cr) $50,000

Paid in capital (Cr) $30,000

(Cash = 10,000 shares *$8, common stock = 10,000 shares*$5 (par value). Premium = 80,000-50,000 = 30,000 goes to paid in capital account).

c. Mar 1 Retained earnings (Dr) $1,484,000

Dividends payable (Cr) $1,484,000

(Dividend amount = $0.7*(2,000,000+110,000+10,000) shares

d. Mar 30: Dividends payable (Dr)  $1,484,000

Cash (Cr) $1,484,000

e. Nov 1: Retained earnings (Dr) $1,399,200

Common stock dividend distributable (Cr) $1,166,000

Paid in capital (Cr) $233,200

(no. of shares to be given as dividends = 11% of ((2,000,000+110,000+10,000) = 233,200 shares. Amount deducted from retained earnings = 232,200 shares*6 = 1,399,200. Dividend distributable = 233,200 shares*$5 (par value)).

f. Nov 30: Common stock dividend distributable (Dr) $1,166,000

Common Stock (Cr) $1,166,000

g. Dec 1: Treasury stock (Dr) $28,000

Cash (Cr) $28,000

(4,000 shares*$7)

h. Dec 20: Cash (Dr) $18,000

Additional paid in capital (Cr) $4,000

Treasury stock (Cr) $14,000

(additional paid in capital = 2,000 shares*($9-$7)

2. stockholder's equity section in balance sheet:

common stock = 10,000,000 (2016 balance) + 550,000 (Jan 1) + 50,000 (Feb 15) + 1,166,000 (Nov 30) = $11,766,000

Additional paid in capital = 400,000 (2016 balance) + 440,000 (Jan 1) + 30,000 (feb 15) + 233,200 (nov 1)+4,000 (dec 20) = 1,107,200

Retained earnings = 500,000,000 (2016 balance) - 1,484,000 (Mar 1) - 1,399,200 (nov 1) = $497,116,800

Treasury stock = 28,000 (dec 1) - 14,000 (dec 20) = 14,000

3. EPS = net income/no. of shares = 27,000,000/2,353,200 = $11.47

4. P/E = price/eps = 12/11.47 = 1.05

Common stock, $5 par value, 7,000,000 shares authorized, 2,353,200 shares issued and outstanding 11,766,000.00 Additional paid in capital 1,107,200.00 Retained earnings 497,116,800.00 Less: Treasury stock 2,000 shares -14,000.00 Total stockholder's equity 509,976,000.00
