Gentlemen:
This refers to your letter dated July 3, 1998 requesting on behalf of your
clients, Luis Jhocson and James Costello, for a ruling as to the proper computation
of book value per share of shares of stock in case the subscription is not fully paid
and the corporation has retained earnings. LibLex
It is represented that your clients are the stockholders of Toon City. Inc.
(TCI), a domestic corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the
laws of the Republic of the Philippines; that as of December 31, 1997, the
corporation has the following capital structure:
Authorized Capital Stock = 20,000 shares
at P100.00 par value per share P2,000,000.00
Subscribed = 5,000 shares P500,000.00
Less: Subscription receivable P298,500.00
———————
Paid-up P201,500.00
===========
On the basis of said capital structure, you have computed the book value
per share of the corporation as follows:
Book Value per Share
Issued and outstanding (5,000 shares) P500,000.00
Add: Retained earnings P359,246.00
–––––––––––
Total: P859,246.00
=========
Computation of Book Value per Share
that so as not to delay the consummation of the sale between Mr. James
Costello and Mr. Colin Baker, you paid the taxes as computed by RDO # 43; that
erroneous computation of the book value per share is so glaring due to the fact that
the computed book value of 2,450 shares sold by James Costello amounted to
P681,810.50 when the total stockholder's equity of the corporation (for its shares)
is only P560,746.00; and that hence, you filed amended returns for refund of
overpayment of taxes based on P171.85/share book value. LibLex
In reply, please be informed that the proper computation of book value per
share of shares of stock in case the subscription is not fully paid and the
corporation has retained earnings is as follows:
In computing the book value per share, the stockholder's equity must first
be determined. Generally, the elements constituting stockholder's equity are:
1. Capital Stock
4. Retained earnings
Thus —
Accordingly, this Office is of the opinion as it hereby holds that the book
value per share in the instant case is P171.85. LexLib
