Question 2

Garcia Corporation recently hired a new accountant with extensive experience in accounting for partnerships. Because of the pressure of the new job, the accountant was unable to review what he had learned earlier about corporation accounting. During the first month, he made the following entries for the corporation’s capital stock.

May 2	Cash	103,320
	Capital Stock		103,320
	(Issued 7,380 shares of $11 par value common stock at $14 per share)
10	Cash	736,170
	Capital Stock		736,170
	(Issued 13,890 shares of $19 par value preferred stock at $53 per share)
15	Capital Stock	7,800
	Cash		7,800
	(Purchased 600 shares of common stock for the treasury at $13 per share)

On the basis of the explanation for each entry, prepare the entries that should have been made for the capital stock transactions. (Record entries in the order displayed in the problem statement. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)

Question 3


	Your answer is correct.

On October 31, the stockholders’ equity section of Pele Company’s balance sheet consists of common stock $787,200 and retained earnings $424,200. Pele is considering the following two courses of action:

(2)		Effecting a 2-for-1 stock split that will reduce par value to $4 per share.

The current market price is $18 per share. Prepare a tabular summary of the effects of the alternative actions on the company’s stockholders’ equity and outstanding shares.
