Part A
In late 2020, the Nicklaus Corporation was formed. The corporate
charter authorizes the issuance of 6,000,000 shares of common stock
carrying a $1 par value, and 2,000,000 shares of $5 par value,
noncumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock. On January 2,
2021, 4,000,000 shares of the common stock are issued in exchange
for cash at an average price of $12 per share. Also on January 2,
all 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock are issued at $25 per
share.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these
transactions.
2. Prepare the shareholders' equity section of the
Nicklaus balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. (Assume net income for
the first quarter 2021 was $1,650,000.)
Part B
During 2021, the Nicklaus Corporation participated in three
treasury stock transactions:
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these
transactions.
2. Prepare the Nicklaus Corporation shareholders'
equity section as it would appear in a balance sheet prepared at
September 30, 2021. (Assume net income for the second and third
quarter was $3,150,000.)
Part C
On October 1, 2021, Nicklaus Corporation receives permission to
replace its $1 par value common stock (6,000,000 shares authorized,
4,000,000 shares issued, and 3,800,000 shares outstanding) with a
new common stock issue having a $0.50 par value. Since the new par
value is one-half the amount of the old, this represents a 2-for-1
stock split. That is, the shareholders will receive two shares of
the $0.50 par stock in exchange for each share of the $1 par stock
they own. The $1 par stock will be collected and destroyed by the
issuing corporation.
On November 1, 2021, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a $0.16 per
share cash dividend on common stock and a $0.33 per share cash
dividend on preferred stock. Payment is scheduled for December 1,
2021, to shareholders of record on November 15, 2021.
On December 2, 2021, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a 1% stock
dividend payable on December 28, 2021, to shareholders of record on
December 14. At the date of declaration, the common stock was
selling in the open market at $12 per share. The dividend will
result in 76,000 (0.01 × 7,600,000) additional shares being issued
to shareholders.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record the
declaration and payment of these stock and cash dividends.
2. Prepare the December 31, 2021, shareholders'
equity section of the balance sheet for the Nicklaus Corporation.
(Assume net income for the fourth quarter was $2,650,000.)

Nicklaus Corporation for 2021
