ACTIVITY 35 STATEMENT OF STOCKHOLDERS EQUITYTYPES OF STOCK
Purpose: Identify three types of stock.
Identify the number of shares authorized, issued, and outstanding.
Compute the total cost of contributed capital and the average cost per share.
The Statement of Stockholders’ Equity provides information about changes in a company’s stockholders’
equity, including contributed capital and retained earnings. It helps investors understand the structure of
a company’s ownership.
Contributed capital (CC) includes amounts paid-in (contributed) by stockholders to purchase the
stock of a corporation. There are two types of stock: common stock and preferred stock. Each
corporation must issue common stock, whereas preferred stock is optional.
When originally issued, amounts received from investors are recorded in two separate accounts
the Par Value account and an Additional Paid-in-Capital account. Par Value is a legal value assigned
to each share of stock upon incorporation, which must be recorded separately in the financial
statements. Additional Paid-in-Capital (APIC) is the amount received in excess of par.
Par Value + Additional Paid-in-Capital = Total Issue Price of Stock
Refer to the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. and accompanying notes
on page 107 to answer the following questions.
Upon incorporation, a company is authorized (by the state of incorporation) to issue a designated
number of shares to investors. Sometimes corporations buy back shares of stock that have been issued;
these are referred to as Treasury Stock. Shares outstanding are the total number of shares actually held
by investors at a given time, equaling shares issued less shares of treasury stock.
Shares issued – Treasury shares = Shares outstanding

Why does the average cost of issued common shares differ from the average cost of treasury
shares?

ACTIVITY 36 STATEMENT OF STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Purpose: Interpret an increase and decrease in Stockholders’ Equity.
Understand preferred and common stock dividends.
Compute shares outstanding after a stock split.
Retained earnings (RE) are net income earned by the company since its incorporation and not yet
distributed as dividends. It is increased by net income, the earnings of this accounting period, and
decreased by dividends, a distribution of earnings.
Beginning Retained Earnings + Net Income – Dividends = Ending Retained Earnings

notes presented on page 107 to answer the following questions.

ACTIVITY 40 RATIO ANALYSIS
Purpose: Review a number of ratios to better evaluate a company.
Understand that the expected range of ratios varies by industry.
Understand that comparing a ratio to industry norms enhances meaning.
Ratios reveal relationships.
Below are ratios with explanations introduced in this chapter. See Appendix B for additional ratios.
Financial Leverage is similar to the debt ratio, in the sense that the more debt a company has, the
higher the Financial Leverage. It measures how debt boosts” return on assets to increase return on
equity.
Financial Leverage
=
Total assets
Stockholders’ equity
The Return on Equity (ROE) ratio measures how effectively stockholders’ equity is used to produce
net income. ROA x Financial Leverage = ROE
ROE
=
Net income
Stockholders’ equity
Times Interest Earned indicates a company’s ability to earn (cover) its periodic interest payments.
Times Interest Earned
=
Operating income
Interest expense
Earnings per Share (EPS) is the amount of net income (loss) earned by each individual share of stock
held by investors.
EPS
=
Net income – Preferred dividends
Average number of common shares outstanding
The Dividend Rate is the amount of dividends paid annually for each share of stock held by investors.
Dividend Rate
=
Annual common stock dividends paid
Investors use the Price Earnings (PE) ratio to measure how “expensive” a company’s stock is
compared to EPS. Regrettably, it does not explain why a stock is expensive or cheap.
