Explain the difference between an operating lease and a finance lease.

Operating leases are long-term leases that do not meet any of the five criteria for a finance lease. Finance leases are long-term leases where the lessee receives substantially all remaining benefits of the asset. The lessee records the leased item as its own asset along with a lease liability at the start of the lease term.

What is treasury stock? What reasons might a company hold treasury stock?

Treasury stock is the company’s own issued shares that it reacquires. Corporations acquire shares of their own stock for reasons such as using the shares to acquire another corporation, avoiding a hostile takeover of the company, reissuing them to employees as compensation, and maintaining a strong market for their stock.

Explain the difference between a large stock dividend and a small stock dividend. In addition, explain how to record these two types of stock dividends.

A large stock dividend is a distribution of more than 25% of previously outstanding shares. A large stock dividend is recorded by capitalizing retained earnings for an amount equal to the par or stated value of the shares. A small stock dividend is a distribution of less than or equal to 25% of the previously outstanding shares.

What is a stock split? How is a stock split different from a stock dividend?

A stock split is the distribution of additional shares to stockholders according to their present ownership. When a stock split occurs, the corporation “calls in” its outstanding shares and issues more than one new share in exchange for each old share. Splits can be done in any ratio. Stock splits reduce the par or stated value per share. Equity remains unchanged. Stock dividends are distributions of additional shares of the corporation’s own stock to its stockholders without the receipt of any payment in return. A stock dividend does not change the par or stated value per share, but total paid-in capital is increased and total retained earnings is decreased.

Explain how cumulative preferred stock differs from noncumulative preferred stock.

Cumulative preferred stock gives its owners the right to be paid both the current and all prior periods’ unpaid dividends before any dividend is paid to common stockholders. Noncumulative preferred stock does not have the right to prior periods’ unpaid dividends if they were not declared in those prior periods.

What are the rights generally granted to common stockholders?

Common stockholders generally have the right to vote at stockholders’ meetings; sell or otherwise dispose of their stock; receive the same dividend, if any on each share of common stock; purchase their proportional share of any common stock later issued by the corporation; and share in any assets remaining after creditors are paid when and if the corporation is liquidated.

What is a corporation?

A corporation is an entity created by law that is separate from its owners and having many of the same rights and privileges granted to individuals. Ownership of corporations is represented by shares of stock. Owners of the stock are called shareholders or stockholders.

Identify the key advantages and disadvantages of corporations.

Advantages of corporations include: limited liability of stockholders, ease of ownership transfer, continuous life, lack of mutual agency for stockholders, and ease of capital accumulation. Two disadvantages of corporations are: government regulation and double taxation.

Explain the steps involved in the liquidation of a partnership.

Three steps are involved in the liquidation process: (1) Record the sale of assets for cash and any gain or loss is allocated to partners using their income-and-loss sharing ratio; (2) Liabilities of the partnership are paid; and, (3) Any remaining cash is distributed to the partners based on their capital balances.
