Below you will find the shareholders’ equity section of Zuzu Corp. at December 31, 2017:

Preferred shares, authorized 100,000 shares; issued 25,000 shares (note 1) $ 750,000
Common shares (unlimited authorized, 60,000 issued) 1,800,000
Contributed surplus 150,000
Total paid-in capital 2,700,000
Retained earnings 2,470,500
Total shareholders’ equity 5,170,500

Note 1: The preferred shares have a $2 dividend rate, are cumulative, and participate in distributions in excess of a $3 dividend on the common shares.

Required:

1) No dividends were paid in 2015 or 2016. On December 31, 2017, Zuzu wants to pay a cash dividend of $4 per share to common shareholders. How much cash would be needed for the total amount to be paid to preferred and common shareholders?

2) The company decides instead that it will declare a 15% stock dividend on the outstanding common shares. The common shares’ fair value on the date of declaration is $45 per share. Prepare the entry on the date of declaration.

3) The company decides instead to acquire and cancel 10,500 common shares at the current fair value of $45 per share. Prepare the entry to record the retirement, assuming the contributed surplus balance arose from previous cancellations of common shares.
