Weighted Average Shares
Since a corporation earns its net
income over the entire year, the
earnings are related to the common
shares outstanding during the year.

Weighted Average Shares
A corporation had 12,000 shares of common stock outstanding
at the beginning of the year. On March 2, it issued 2,700
shares; on July 3, it issued another

A corporation begins operations in January 2004, and issues
5,000 shares of common stock that are outstanding all during
2004. On December 31, 2004, it issues a 2-for-1 stock split.

14
Diluted Earnings Per Share
Diluted earnings per share shows the
earnings per share after including all
potential common shares that would
reduce earnings per share.
15
Diluted Earnings Per Share
To be included in the diluted earnings
per share calculation, any potential
common share must have a dilutive
effect on earnings per share.
16
Diluted Earnings Per Share
Step 1: Compute the basic earnings per share.
Step 2: Include dilutive stock options and warrants
and compute a tentative DEPS.
Step 3: Develop a ranking of the impact of each
convertible preferred stock and convertible
bond on DEPS.
Step 4: Include each dilutive convertible security in
DEPS in a sequential order based on the
ranking and compute a new tentative DEPS.
Step 5: Select as the diluted earnings per share the
lowest computed DEPS.

Treasury Stock Method
Step 1. Determine the average market price of common
shares during the period.
Step 2. Compute the shares issued from the assumed
exercise of all options and warrants.
Step 3. Compute the proceeds received from the assumed
exercise by multiplying the shares issued by the
option price [plus any unrecognized compensation
cost (net of tax) per share].
Step 4. Compute the assumed shares reacquired by
dividing the proceeds by the average market price.
Step 5. Compute the incremental common shares.

Stock Dividends
What factors might
enhance the perceived
attractiveness of stock
dividends?
46
Stock Dividends



The stockholders may see the stock
dividend as evidence of corporate growth.
The stockholders may see the stock
dividend as evidence of sound financial
policy.
Other investors may see the stock dividend
in a similar light, and increased trading in
the stock may cause the market price not to
decrease proportionally.
47
Stock Dividends


The corporation may state that it will pay
the same fixed cash dividend per share.
The stockholders may see the market price
decreasing to a lower trading range,
making the stock more attractive to
additional investors so that the market price
may eventually rise.

Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income
Other comprehensive income might include- Unrealized increases (gains) or decreases (losses)
in the market value of investments in availablefor-sale securities.
 Translation adjustments from converting the
financial statements of a company’s foreign
operation into U.S. dollars.
 Certain gains and losses on “derivative” financial
instruments.
 Certain pension liability adjustments.
58
Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income
A corporation may report its comprehensive
income (net of income taxes)- On the face of its income statement.
 In a separate statement of comprehensive
income.
 In its statement of changes in stockholders’
equity.
59
Statement of Changes in
Stockholders’ Equity
APB Opinion No. 12 states: “…disclosures of
changes in the separate accounts comprising
stockholders’ equity (in addition to retained
earnings) and of the changes in the number of
shares of equity securities during at least the most
recent annual fiscal period…is required to make
the financial statements sufficiently informative.

Appendix: Quasi-Reorganization
Click the button next
to me to skip the
Appendix material.
61
Appendix: Quasi-Reorganization
A corporation that incurs net losses over an extended
period of time may find itself in serious financial
difficulty. Rather than enter into a formal bankruptcy
or other legal proceedings, the corporation engage in
a quasi-reorganization.
62
Appendix: Quasi-Reorganization
The suggested readjustment procedures include the
following steps:
1. The corporation reports to the stockholders about
the restatements proposed and obtains the
stockholders’ formal consent.
2. Any amounts written off are first charged against
retained earnings and then against additional paid-in
capital.
3. The corporation begins its “fresh start” with a zero
retained earnings balance.
Continued
63
Appendix: Quasi-Reorganization
The suggested readjustment procedures include the
following steps:
4. The corporation presents a balance sheet as of the
date of readjustment in which the assets and
liabilities are reported at their fair values.
After the quasi-reorganization, several additional
accounting procedures are suggested:
Continued
64
Appendix: Quasi-Reorganization
5. If losses or readjustments are identified that are
determined to have occurred before the
readjustment date, they are recorded as a reduction
of additional paid-in capital and not current income
or retained earnings.
6. Additional paid-in capital is not reduced for losses
occurring after the readjustment.
7. Retained earnings is dated as of the readjustment
date, and this dating is disclosed in a note to the
financial statements until such dating loses it
significance.
