  • @moeky1luv
    @moeky1luv Před 9 lety +1

    Explained this soooo well! Thank you! My obly question that I am stuck on is...how do I calculate the problems in the years where I then owe nothing? I hope this makes sense

    • @allkristiningram
      @allkristiningram  Před 9 lety

      Nakeyshia T.M If you have cumulative preferred stock, you will always make a payment to the preferred shareholders even if it is just for the current year's dividends. If no dividend is paid, that is when you need to keep track of how much is in arrears so you can pay that out the next time a dividend is paid.
      The calculation for the amount of dividends to the preferrred shareholders is always the same.
      Number of shares of preferred stock outstanding X Par value of preferred share X % dividend.
      So if you have 1,000 shares of $100 par value, 8% preferred stock, the preferred dividend would be:
      1,000 x $100 x 7%= $7000.
      I hope that answers your question. If you need further clarification or I didn't understand your question correctly, please let me know.

    • @moeky1luv
      @moeky1luv Před 9 lety

      That makes alot of sense and thank you for that clarity!
      I do have another question as well if for example if the:
      preferred dividends is 45,000 and the year total dividends is 126,000. Do I then take 45,000 out for preferred dividends and place the rest which is 81,000 into the common dividends box?
      I hope this makes sense. Thank you again

    • @allkristiningram
      @allkristiningram  Před 9 lety

      Nakeyshia T.M As long as there are no dividends in arrears (from previous years) owed to the preferred shareholders, then yes, that is correct. Total dividends - preferred dividends = common dividends.

    • @allkristiningram
      @allkristiningram  Před 3 lety

      The reason it changes is because there is not enough cash to pay them so they are paying multiple years in arrears.

    got a question? why didn't you subtract 10,000 from 40,000 in year 2013? i dont get it?

    • @allkristiningram
      @allkristiningram  Před 9 lety

      ***** Cumulative preferred stock earns the dividend even if it is not paid. If the dividend is not paid in full, it is called "dividends in arrears." In 2013, there are $15,000 worth of dividends in arrears ($5,000 from 2011 and $10,000 from 2012).
      Therefore, when the $40,000 was declared in 2013:
      $5,000 went to pay the dividends in arrears for 2011
      $10,000 went to pay the dividends in arrears for 2012
      $10,000 went to pay the dividend for 2013.
      I hope the explanation makes sense. If not, please ask more questions.

    • @purpledonatello
      @purpledonatello Před 9 lety

      Kristin Ingram confusing still, but how about this. in 2013 the company has enough dividends(40,000) to pay off rest of the "owed" arrears(15,000) and thats why collectivly arrears stopped? right? arrears would not kept on going because the company had enough? if that current year 2013 lets say has amount of 15,000 then arrears would be 5,000 then what happens? would collective arrears would be 20,000? i think im getting it...

    • @allkristiningram
      @allkristiningram  Před 9 lety

      ***** Do you mean the dividend declared was $15,000 for 2013? That would pay off the dividends in arrears for 2011 and 2012, but the 2013 dividend due to the preferred shareholders is an additional $10,000.
      Arrears $15,000
      current $10,000
      Paid ($15,000)
      Amount due $10,000

      @justnobody07. Před 7 lety

      Kristin Ingram yes maam. it says in the problem that the company for the first time plans to declare cash dividend it has not paid a cash or dividend before. the given is 2008 300k loss 2009 200k loss 2010 100k loss. and 2011 350k income and 2012 1.250k income. it is 10% cummulative and fully participating pref.share par 100 per share authorized issued/outstanding 5000shares. so the calculation is?is it (500,000 x 10% x 5 years?) since they are not paid for 5 years maam? sorry for inconvenience maam but i need help.

    Hello I have a question. you have two question on this problem what happen with the common stock, 100,000 shares $1, par value common stock. I have seen this type of exercises and now capture my attention, because I have an exercise
    Company declared a$20,000 cash dividend to shareholders
    5,000 shares of $15-par, 10% preferred stock noncumulative
    10,000 shares of $20-par common stock
    How much will the preferred and common stockholders receive on the date of payment?
    5,000 *$15 * 10%= 7,500
    Preferred $7,500 common $12,500
    The calculation for the common stock ???

      The rest of the money goes to the common shareholders. If there are 10,000 shares of common stock then each share would receive $12,500/10,000 shares or $1.25 per share. The preferred shareholders get 10% of $15 or $1.50 per share.

      That's why I ask you, you didn't calculate the part of the common stock.You give the rest from preferred.
      So in my work
      Preferred $7,500
      Common $12,500 + 10,000 share $20
      I'm confused

    • @allkristiningram

      The total dividend amount is given. Whatever is left over goes to the common shareholders. It's not really a calculation. They just get whatever the preferred shareholders don't take.

    why do they give a percentage and a par value, y not just give the multiplication of the two

    • @allkristiningram
      @allkristiningram  Před 3 lety

      Because you also have to factor in the number of shares outstanding.

      It's important to understand the three dates: declaration date, recording date, and payment date. Jan 5 is the declaration date, when the liability and dividend are recorded.
