5. On December 1, 2018, Folks Wagon Company adopted a stock-option plan that granted options

to key executives to purchase 50,000 shares of the company’s $10 par value common stock. The

options were granted on January 1, 2019, and were exercisable 3 years after the date of grant if the

grantee was still an employee of the company. The options expired 5 years from the date of grant.

The option price was set at $35, and the fair value option-pricing model determines the total

compensation expense to be $450,000.

All of the options were exercised during the year 2022: 20,000 on February 23 when the market

price was $46, and 30,000 on August 8 when the market price was $85 a share.

a. Prepare the journal entries relating to the stock option plan for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Assume that the employee performs services equally in 2019, 2020, and 2021.

b. Prepare the journal entries that record the two events of exercising the options in 2022.

Jane Jones organized Kinney Enterprise, Inc., in January 2018. The corporation immediately issued at $15 per share on half of its 260,000 authorized shares of $1 par value common stock. On January 2, 2019, the corporation sold at par value the entire 10,000 authorized shares of 10 percent, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock. On January 2, 2020, the company again needed capital and issued 5,000 shares of an authorized 8,000 shares of no-par cumulative preferred stock for a total of $320,000. The no-par shares have a stated dividend of $6 per share.

The company declared no dividends in 2018 and 2019. At the end of 2019, its retained earnings were 530,000. During 2020 and 2021 combined, the company earned a total net income of $1,400,000. Dividends of 90 cents per share in 2020 and $2 per share in 2021 were paid on common stock.

Required:

1.   Prepare the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet at December 31, 2021. Include a supporting schedule showing your computation of retained earnings at the balance sheet date. Ensure that your partial balance sheet is labeled correctly and uses the correct format for the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

2. Assume that on January 2, 2019, the corporation could have borrowed $1,000,000 at 10 percent interest on a long-term basis instead of issuing the 10,000 shares of the $100 par value cumulative preferred stock. Identify two reasons a corporation may choose to issue cumulative preferred stock rather than finance operations with long-term debt.

a) Make a chart of the U.S. current account deficit, both in absolute $ value and as a share of GDP from 1990 to present. Find the most recent estimate of the U.S. current account deficit for the next two quarters (Note: depending on the availability of actual data. If actual data is available up to the third quarter of 2016, you should look for the estimate for 2016Q4 and 2017Q1).

b) For the same sample period (1990-present), chart the evolution of the net foreign assets of the U.S. (NIIP) and decompose the total NIPP in the part that is the net stock of foreign direct investment from the part that is the rest (portfolio, banks, other forms of debt).

c) Discuss the evolution of the U.S current account deficit and net foreign assets: how much of the evolution of the deficit (as a share of GDP) is due to changes in private savings, public savings (fiscal deficits) and investment rate (all as a share of GDP) and how much has the role of different factors changed over time?

d) Based on this analysis, are the U.S. current account and external debt sustainable? Does the U.S. differ or not from emerging markets or not and why?

e) How likely are the risks of a crash of the U.S. dollar triggered by foreign investors reduced willingness to lend to the U.S. and accumulate U.S. assets?

f) Will the U.S. dollar strengthen or weaken in the next 2 years and relative to which currencies and why?
