Thanks for this video. Clarified. Can you help me understand how are preferred shares allocated. Does a common shareholder have access to prefered shares?
Maybe, it depends on the way the preferred shares are offered.
Great help.(thanks)
+Robert Aghazarian you're welcome! Thanks for leaving a comment. I appreciate it.

+Soul thank you for the lovely comment. I'm so glad I was able to help!
Where does the 100,000 shares of$1 par value common stock come into play? is there another video on that and that part of the question is there to throw you off or did I miss something? Thank you, even though I am still a little confused this is much more understandable to me!
Check out my website Accountinginfocus.com. I have a full common stock explanation there.
it helped me a lot... thank you.
+Prolawn Asuncion You're welcome! So glad I could help!
Thank you very much, that helped me alot
Glad I could help!
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
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.
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
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.
Thank You!!!
thank you this really helped
You're welcome. I'm glad I could help!
oh my goodness thank you so much
You're welcome!
Thank you so much.
+Joshua Libo-on you're welcome! Glad I could help!
Thanks a log. I thought that the dividends given for preferred stock is fixed? So why isn't the dividend the same for each year?
The reason it changes is because there is not enough cash to pay them so they are paying multiple years in arrears.
Thank you so much, Kristin. :)
+Sarah Gul You're welcome! So glad I could help!
+Kristin Ingram :)
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Very good video. i'm lost on the 2013 part toward the end. I don't get how you got $25,000 in cummulative part.
+KEVIN SHARADIN the $25,000 is the 2013 dividend plus the amount in arrears.
great video
+Rayando Johnson Thank you!
Thank you!!!
Thanks!
Do you have a video for Participating on both Cumulative and Non-cumulative
Sorry I do not.
in each series or round, how many common shares can be open to each investor? is there a number or even a limit to these?
The only limit is the number of shares authorized in the charter.
when would we have to use the 100,000 shares of $1 par value common stock? Like it is not important as far as knowing how to do preferred stock and common stock dividends?
In this example, it is extra information unless you need to calculate the common stock dividend per share.
Long overdue but
Thank you, maam
You're welcome!
How would I calculate the dividend per share?
+Richard Williams divide the total dividend by the number of shares outstanding. Outstanding shares = issued shares - treasury. Treasury shares do not earn a dividend.
How about the participating & non participating preference share its affect the dividend declaration?
Preference should not make a difference unless the stocks are treated differently for dividend distributions. That would need to be clearly stated.
Thankyou so much
You're welcome!
If you wanted to find the per share value how would you do that?
+Pedro Galindo you would take the total stockholder's equity less any preferred equity and divide that by the number of shares outstanding.
What does the journal entry look like for this example?
The journal entry would be the same as the entries found here: czcams.com/video/xcgi4hx-NFM/video.html
Hi can u provide the entries for preferred stock cumulative, issuance and
+Rita Hong check out the video on common stock issuance. Preferred stock is done exactly the same way.
what if is 80,000 at 4% 100$ par and declared a $21,000 cash dividend? would preferred be 21k?
80,000 shares? Preferred would take up all the cash and you would have a huge dividend in arrears.
Thanks
i have one confusion that how can a dividend is greater than eps? they both are calculated from the profit after taxation. aren't they? and dividend is further a part of profit after taxation.
Dividends are paid out of retained earnings. Therefore, you can have a dividend that is higher than EPS.
thanks! we use pearson's accounting principles vol 2, has a very subtle and unnecessarily difficult way to describe.
again thank you for making my life less miserable haha
+Axaygiri Goswami Glad I could help! Thanks for commenting!
got a question? why didn't you subtract 10,000 from 40,000 in year 2013? i dont get it?
***** 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.
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...
***** 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
pls answer may question. what if in 5 years and cummulative. 2010 loss 2011 loss 2012 loss 2013 income 2014 income. if it is cummulative am I going to "X" all the year or just the year that it has an income?
+summer summerr the dividends are not tied to profit or loss, just on dividends paid. Therefore, you would calculate the dividends in arrears for all years they are not paid.
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.
+summer summerr yes, your calculation is correct.
Kristin Ingram maam?thank you so much. :')
Well Done (clapping) Now I understand it.
+B Raq Thank you. So glad I could help. Thanks for commenting.
please do one for payroll taxes
My exam tomorrow thanks you!!!
+Connor Kehoe You're welcome! Good luck with your exam!
you da best
Thanks! You're pretty awesome yourself.
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
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 did they get $10000 in 2012 cummulative preffered
+mikelawy in 2012, they received 0 for cumulative preferred
+mikelawy the 2013 noncummulative was $10,000.
explain common and prefered stock
Here is my post with explanations of the two types of stock: accountinginfocus.com/financial-accounting/equity-financial-accounting/stock-terminology/
why do they give a percentage and a par value, y not just give the multiplication of the two
Because you also have to factor in the number of shares outstanding.
Way Easier than my shitty professor tried to explain
my college, CSUF, needs to fire their accounting department
and hire some one better who can actually teach students
thanks for the video
+Sunny shah You're welcome. So glad I could help. Sorry your professor wasn't able to help you.

Haha lol, screw my professor

In year 2016, the following transactions affected its stockholders’ equity accounts. Jan. 1 Purchased 4,000 shares of its own stock at $20 cash per share. Jan. 5 D irectors declared a $2 per share cash dividend payable on Feb. 28 to the Feb. 5 stockholders of record. Feb. 28 Paid the dividend declared on January 5.

I did not understand the journal entry on Jan 5 ?
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.
