6. No entry is required for a 2 for 1 stock split. The number of shares issued and
outstanding are each doubled (i.e., multiplied by two); the par value per share and the
annual dividend per share are each halved (i.e., divided by two). The market price per
share is likely to settle at approximately half of its pre-split value.
Note that the number of shares authorized will normally be increased to accommodate a

Assets acquired under capital leases are treated very much like other long-term
depreciable assets, and capital lease liabilities are treated very much like long-term notes
payable. The only difference is that in a capital lease transaction, the lessee company

Bonds payable represents a liability to the firm and is payable at pre-specified times.
Interest is a fixed claim to the company’s income and must be paid in accordance with the
terms of the bond agreement. Likewise, the maturity value of bonds is a fixed claim to the
company’s assets. If any interest or principal payments are missed, the company will face
stockholders. This “cumulative” feature makes preferred more bond-like than common
stock-like. Preferred stock has no maturity date but normally has a redemption value that
represents a fixed claim to the company’s assets after bondholders have been satisfied for
their claims. Preferred is usually callable and may be convertible. Dividends are not an
expense and are not deductible for income tax purposes.
leverage than Mr. Gerrard may be comfortable with at this time, given his concern about
not wanting to become “overextended” with debt. Since most of the company’s assets are
invested in property, plant, and equipment, liquidity could become a serious problem if
there were an economic downturn in the near future. By issuing preferred stock, Mr.
Gerrard could better control the timing of future cash flows in the event that the company
