What was the average issue price of common stock shown on the June 30, 2023, balance sheet?



Answer :

To solve this problem, let's first record the effect of transactions 1 to 6 in journal entry format:

1. Issuance of common stock:

  Common Stock (3,310,000 shares * $5 par value)      $16,550,000

  Additional Paid-in Capital on Common Stock                   $nil

      Common Stock (310,000 shares * $14)                         $4,340,000

      Additional Paid-in Capital on Common Stock                  $2,110,000

2. Sale of treasury stock:

  Cash                                                       $1,464,000

  Treasury Stock (80,000 shares * $18.3)             $1,464,000

3. Net income for the year:

  Retained Earnings                                           $1,310,000

      Income Summary                                                 $1,310,000

4. Payment of preferred dividends:

  Dividends Payable                                               $475,000

      Cash                                                                   $475,000

5. Payment of common dividends:

  Retained Earnings                                             $310,000

      Dividends Payable                                                 $310,000

      Cash                                                                   $300,000  (3,000,000 shares * $0.10 per share)

6. Preferred stock split:

  No journal entry is required as this transaction does not affect the other accounts.

Next, let's calculate the dollar amounts that DeZurik Corporation would report for each stockholders’ equity caption on its June 30, 2023, balance sheet:

1. Paid-in capital:

  Preferred Stock ($5.61 million)

  Common Stock ($16.55 million)

  Additional Paid-in Capital on Common Stock ($24.163 million)

  Total Paid-in Capital: $46,323,000

2. Retained Earnings:

  Beginning Retained Earnings ($60,627,000)

  Add: Net Income ($1,310,000)

  Less: Common Dividends Paid ($310,000)

  Ending Retained Earnings: $61,627,000

3. Treasury Stock:

  80,000 shares * $18.3 per share = $1,464,000

4. Total Stockholders' Equity:

  Paid-in Capital + Retained Earnings - Treasury Stock

  $46,323,000 + $61,627,000 - $1,464,000 = $106,486,000

Finally, let's compare the stockholders’ equity caption details for DeZurik Corporation between the June 30, 2023, and 2022 balance sheets:

- Paid-in Capital:

 It increased due to the issuance of common stock and the sale of treasury stock.

- Retained Earnings:

 It increased due to net income earned during the year, less dividends paid to common stockholders.

- Treasury Stock:

 It increased due to the purchase of treasury stock during the year.

- Total Stockholders' Equity:

 It increased compared to the 2022 balance sheet due to the net effect of the transactions.

The average issue price of common stock shown on the June 30, 2023, balance sheet can be calculated by dividing the total amount of common stock issued during the year by the total number of shares issued.

Total amount of common stock issued = $4,340,000 (from transaction 1)

Total number of shares issued = 310,000 shares (from transaction 1)

Average issue price of common stock = $4,340,000 / 310,000 shares = $14 per share
