Notes:
1)On feb quonset issued 13000 shares of common stock in exchange of land
13000 shares * $13=$169000
So issue sof 13000 * $1 is par value rest is additional paid in capital
so Common stock is $13000 and additional paid in capital is $156000(169000-13000)
2)Purchase of treasury stock
21000 shares * $12=$252000
3)Purchase of marketable debt is not included in the equity balances above
4)so a property dividend would be done by taking the fair value of stock
and debiting the retianed earnings . So a decrease of $55000 is to be made from
retained earnings
5) A stock dividend of 15%
so we issue 842000*15%=126300 stock dividends
6)We pay cash dividends
a direct entry is made through retained earnings
Reatined earnings…Dr….$968300
Cash………………..Cr…$968300
7)we recognise net income through retaiend earnings-$1443000
8)Increase in gain on the portfolio of marketable debt securities
of $95000 , this unrealsied gain with increase other comprehensive
income and thus increase stockholder's equity
