b.
The par value of all preference share outstanding and the amount of all dividends in arrears on preference share are deducted from total shareholders equity to determine the aggregate book value allocable to the ordinary shareholders.
8. No, the number of ordinary shares used in computing earnings per share may be different from that used to determine book value per share. In computing earnings per share, earnings allocable to the ordinary shareholders is divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding throughout the period. In computing book value per share at a specified date, shareholders' equity allocable to the ordinary shareholders is divided by the number of ordinary shares actually outstanding on that date. If the number of ordinary shares outstanding has not changed during the period, the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period will be equal to the number of ordinary shares outstanding on a particular date. 9. a. b. The price-earnings ratio is computed by dividing the market price of a share of ordinary share by the annual earnings per share. The amount of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit available for ordinary share by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. The amount of diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing profit by the maximum potential number of shares outstanding after convertible securities are assumed to have been converted. Shares used in computing basic earnings per share: Ordinary shares outstanding throughout the year . 3,000,000
c.
10. a. b.
Shares used in computing diluted earnings per share: Ordinary shares outstanding throughout the year . 3,000,000 Additional ordinary shares that would exist if preference share had been converted at the beginning of the year (150,000 x 2) .. 300,000 Total shares used in diluted earnings computation . 3,300,000
11. The analyst should recognize the risk that the outstanding convertible securities may be converted into additional ordinary share, thereby diluting (reducing) basic earnings per share in future years. If any of the convertible securities are converted, basic earnings per share probably will increase at a slower rate than profit. In fact, if enough dilution occurs, basic earnings per share could actually decline while profit continues to increase. 12. Date of declaration is the day the obligation to pay a dividend comes into existence by action of the board of directors. Date of record is the day on which the particular shareholders who are entitled to receive a dividend is determined. Persons listed in the corporate records as owning share on this day will receive the dividend. Date of payment is the day the dividend is distributed by the corporation. Ex-dividend date (usually three business days prior to the date of record) is the day on which the right to receive a recently declared dividend no longer attaches to share. As a result, the market price of the shares usually falls by the amount of the dividend. 13. The purpose of a stock dividend is to make a distribution of perceived value to shareholders as a representation of the profitability of the company while, at the same time, conserving cash.
14. A share split occurs when there is a relatively large increase in the number of shares issued without any change in the total amount of stated capital (because the par value per share is reduced proportionately to the increase in the number of shares). A stock dividend occurs when there is a relatively small increase in the number of shares issued, with no change in the net assets of the company but a transfer from retained earnings to the issued and paid capital section of the balance sheet. The par value of share remains the same. The distinction in the accounting treatment of a stock dividend and a share split stems directly from the difference in the effect on stated (legal) capital and retained earnings. There is no difference in the probable effect on per-share market price of a stock dividend and a share split of equal size, although share splits are usually much larger than stock dividends. 15. Restructuring charges result when the company incurs costs in the process of reorganization, often downsizing. The purpose of reorganization is to benefit future operations in terms of more efficient operations, but the cost is ordinarily charged to current operations. Restructuring charges are not extraordinary items, and unless they directly related to a discontinued part of the business, are not presented as discontinued operations. They are often presented as a single line item in the income statement, before income taxes. 16. Three items that may be shown in a statement of comprehensive income as causing changes in the balance of retained earnings are: (1) Profit or loss for the period (2) Dividends declared (both cash dividends and stock dividends) (3) Gains or losses arising from the fair value changes of Available For Sale investments 17. If the price of the share declines in proportion to the distribution of shares in a stock dividend, at the time of that distribution the shareholder does not benefit. He/she holds exactly the same percentage of the outstanding shares, and the value per share has declined in proportion to the increased number of shares. Often, however, the value does not drop in proportion to the increased number of shares, meaning that the recipient of the shares has an immediate benefit. For example, if an investor who held 2,000 share that had a market value of $10 each received a 10% stock dividend, and the market price only declined 5%, the following would result:
Market value before stock dividend: 2,000 shares @ $10 . Market value after stock dividend: (2,000 shares x 110%) x ($10 x 95%) .
$20,000 $20,900
The investor has benefited by $900. He/she could sell about 95 shares [$900/($10 x 95%)] at $9.50 and still have a share investment equal to the value before the stock dividend, although the investor would own a smaller percentage of the company after the sale. 18. A liquidating dividend is a return of the investment made in the company to the investor, in contrast to a non-liquidating dividend which is a return on the investment in the company. A liquidating dividend occurs when dividends are distributed in excess of a companys retained earnings.
19. The student is right in one senseboth share splits and stock dividends are distributions of a companys shares to existing shareholders with the company receiving no payment in return. The student is incorrect, however, in stating that the two are exactly the same. The primary difference is one of magnitude and, thus, the impact on market value. A stock dividend is usually relatively small5% to 20% of the outstanding shares. A share split, on the other hand, is usually some multiple of the number of outstanding shares, like a 2:1 split (100% increase) or a 3:1 split (200% increase). The market price reacts strongly to a distribution as large as a share split while stock dividends are often unnoticed in the share price.

Following the stock dividend, the earnings per share of earlier periods should be retroactively restated to reflect the increased number of shares. In this situation, each "new share (after the 100% stock dividend) is equal to only one-half of a 2008 or 2007 share. If the earnings of each 2008 or 2007 share are allocated between the two new shares, each new share is viewed as having earned one-half of the original amount ($3.15 2 = $1.575; $2.40 2 = $1.20).

The market value of the total Express Limiteds shares outstanding is $5,280,000 (80,000 $66) before the stock dividend. Because the issuance of new shares has no effect on the net assets of the company, there is no basis of predicting any change in total market value of the companys share as a result of the stock dividend. The logical conclusion is, therefore, that the market price per share should fall to $60 ($5,280,000 88,000 shares). The fact that this exact result does not always follow in practice must be attributed to a lack of understanding on the part of the investing public and to other factors affecting per-share market price at the time of a stock dividend.

After a share split, earnings per share are expressed in terms of the new shares. Therefore, a 3-for-1 share split will cause earnings per share figures to be restated at one-third of their former amounts.
b. Realization of a gain from most sources, including discontinued operations, increases net earnings per share. (As this gain relates to discontinued operations, however, it would not increase the per-share earnings from continuing operations. ) c. Dividends declared or paid do not enter into the determination of profit. Therefore, the declaration and/or payment of a cash dividend on ordinary share has no effect upon earnings per share.
d. Earnings per share are restated to reflect the increased number of shares resulting from a stock dividend. Therefore, a stock dividend causes a proportionate reduction in the earnings per share reported in past periods, as well as in the current period. (This effect parallels that of a share split, only smaller.) e. Acquisition of treasury shares reduces the weighted average number of shares currently outstanding and, therefore, increases earnings per share.

1. Declaration of a cash dividend has no immediate effect upon profit or cash flows. It increases current liabilities (dividends payable), but has no effect on current assets. Also, retained earnings is decreased, resulting in a decrease in shareholders equity. 2. Payment of a cash dividend has no effect on revenue or expenses, but it reduces cash. Since it reduces cash, it also reduces current assets. The transaction has no effect on shareholders equity, which has already been decreased when the dividend was declared. 3. The purchase of treasury share has no effect on either revenue or expenses and, therefore, does not affect profit. But cash is used to purchase the treasury share, and this decreases cash and current assets. Because treasury share is deducted from shareholders equity in the balance sheet, its purchase decreases shareholders equity. 4. Reissuance of treasury share at a price less than its original cost results in a loss, but these losses are not recorded in the income statement. Instead share premium is decreased for the amount of the loss. Therefore, this transaction does not affect profit. Since the treasury share account is deducted from shareholders equity, reissuance of the share increases the total amount of shareholders equity. Also, both cash and current assets are increased as a result of the cash received from sale of the share.
5. Declaration of a stock dividend results in a reclassification of amounts from Retained Earnings to the Share Capital and Share Premium accounts. It has no effect on cash, current assets, shareholders equity, or profit.

Also, retained earnings is decreased, resulting in a decrease in shareholders equity. Payment of a cash dividend has no effect on revenue or expenses, but it reduces cash. Since it reduces cash, it also reduces current assets. The transaction has no effect on shareholders equity, which has already been decreased when the dividend was declared. The purchase of treasury share has no effect on either revenue or expenses and, therefore, does not affect profit. But cash is used to purchase the treasury share, and this decreases cash and current assets. Because treasury share is deducted from shareholders equity in the balance sheet, its purchase decreases shareholders equity. Reissuance of treasury share at a price less than its original cost results in a loss, but these losses are not recorded in the income statement. Instead share premium is decreased for the amount of the loss. Therefore, this transaction does not affect profit. Since the treasury share account is deducted from shareholders equity, reissuance of the share increases the total amount of shareholders equity.

If JPL had not sold the baseball team at the end of 2009, it still would have incurred the teams $1,300,000 operating loss for the year. However, the company would not have realized the $4,700,000 gain on the sale. Other items in the income statement would not have been affected. Thus, JPLs income for 2009 would have been $4,700,000 less than was actually reported, or $2,600,000 ($7,300,000 - $4,700,000 = $2,600,000).
b. In 2009, JPLs newspaper business earned $3,900,000, as shown by the subtotal, Profit from Continuing Operations. If the profitability of these operations increased by 7% in 2010, they would earn approximately $4,173,000 ($3,900,000 x 1.07 = $4,173,000). If the baseball team were still owned and lost $2,000,000 in 2010, JPL could be expected to earn a profit of about $2,173,000 in that year. c. Given that the baseball team was sold in 2009, JPL should earn a profit of approximately $4,173,000 in 2010, assuming that the profitability of the continuing newspaper operations increases by 7% ($3,900,000 x 1.07 = $4,173,000).
d. The operating loss incurred by the baseball team in 2009 indicates that the teams expenses (net of tax effects) exceeded its revenue by $1,300,000. If the expenses were $32,200,000, the revenue must have amounted to $1,300,000 less, or $30,900,000.

The company reports earnings per share computed on both a basic and a diluted basis because it has outstanding convertible preference share. The conversion of these securities into ordinary share would increase the number of ordinary shares outstanding and thereby dilute (reduce) earnings per share of ordinary share. The primary purpose of a companys disclosing diluted earnings per share is to warn investors of the dilution in earnings that could occur if the convertible securities actually were converted. It is important to recognize that diluted earnings represent a hypothetical case. The convertible securities have not actually been converted into ordinary shares as of the close of the current year.
b.
The total dollar amount of the companys loss from discontinued operations can be computed from the earnings per share information as follows: Loss from discontinued operations per share ($6.90 - $3.60) .. Total loss from discontinued operations ($3.30 per share x 3 million shares) ..
c.
The approximate market price of the companys ordinary share is $69 per share. When a companys income statement includes an extraordinary item, the price-earnings ratio shown in newspapers is based upon basic earnings before extraordinary items ($6.90 x 10 = $69). (1) $7.59 ($6.90 x 110%) Only the continuing operations will be earning revenue and incurring expenses next year, and the extraordinary item is not expected to recur. Therefore, the starting point for projecting future net earnings should be earnings from continuing operations. Since both revenue and expenses are expected to increase by 10%, earnings per share also should increase 10%. (2) $6.05 ($5.50 x 110%) The diluted earnings per share figures show the effect that conversion of all of the convertible preference share into ordinary shares would have had upon this years earnings. Earnings per share from continuing operations would have been only $5.50, rather than $6.90. Thus, $5.50 per share becomes the logical starting point for forecasting next years net earnings. As in part (1), next years earnings are expected to rise by 10% over those of the current year.

The 77,804,878 approximate figure for the $1.23 annual dividend appears compatible with the beginning and ending actual figures because it falls between these numbers.

The share issued during the year for the share option plans consisted of treasury shares, not newly issued shares. The Treasury Share account is used to account for repurchases of a corporations share, as well as the reissuance of treasury shares. When share is repurchased and subsequently reissued, the Ordinary Share account is not affected; these transactions do, however, affect the Treasury Share account, a contra- shareholders equity account. $29.79 average cost per share of treasury share at the beginning of the year ($135,900,000 total cost 4,562,500 treasury shares) The aggregate reissue price for the treasury shares must have been lower than the cost to acquire those treasury shares, because the Share Premium account was reduced by the reissuance of the treasury share. The cost of the treasury shares reissued was $16,700,000; the reissue price for the treasury shares must have been $15,300,000 to cause a $1,400,000 reduction in Share Premium. $63.61 average cost per share for treasury share acquired during the current year ($78,600,000 aggregate cost 1,235,700 shares repurchased) Earnings per share: Divide by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding throughout the year Book value per share: Divide by the actual number of shares outstanding as of the specific date (usually a balance sheet date)

CASE 12.5 CLASSIFICATION OF UNUSUAL ITEMS AND THE POTENTIAL FINANCIAL IMPACT
a.
An asset represents something with future economic benefit. But if the amount at which the asset is presented in the balance sheet (i.e., its book value) cannot be recovered through future use or sale, any future economic benefit appears to be less than the assets current book value. In such cases, the asset should be written down to the recoverable amount.
c.
1.
2.
Income before extraordinary items will be reduced since the losses are classified as ordinary.
3.
Income from Continuing Operations will be reduced as the losses are classified as ordinary.
4.
Given that these losses do not affect income taxes, they have no cash effects. Therefore, net cash flow from operating activities will be unaffected.
d. The p/e ratio is based upon income before extraordinary items (stated on a per-share basis). As stated in c (2), above, income before extraordinary items will be affected since the losses are classified as part of the ordinary operations. Therefore, the p/e ratio will be higher.
e.
Yes. Members of management have a self-interest in seeing share prices increase, which would favorably affect the value of their share options as well as share they already own. In addition, a rising share price makes it easier for the company to raise capital, benefits shareholders, and makes management look good.
In summary, the adverse effects of these losses on the companys share price are likely to be greater if the losses are classified as ordinary. Therefore, management has a self-interest in seeing these losses classified as an extraordinary item. f. These write-offs are likely to increase the earnings reported in future periods, especially if the company continues to do business in any of the related countries. With the assets having no book value, future earnings from these operations will not be reduced by charges for depreciation (or, in some cases, for a cost of goods sold). No ethical dilemma exists because the classification of these losses as extraordinary is not allowed.
