Retained earnings is not part of paid-in capital.2. The cost of treasury stock should be deducted from the total stockholders’ equity.3. Dividends payable should be included as part of current liabilities and not as part of stockholders’ equity.4. Common stock should be included as part of paid-in capital.5. The amount of shares of common stock issued of 825,000 times the par value per share of $20 should be extended as $16,500,000, not $17,655,000. The difference, $1,155,000, probably represents paid-in capital in excess of par.6. Organizing costs should be expensed as Organizational Expenses when incurred and not included as a part of stockholders’ equity. One possible corrected Stockholders’ Equity section of the balance sheet using Method 1 of Exhibit 4 is as follows:
Stockholders’ EquityPaid-in capital:Preferred 2% stock, $80 par (125,000shares authorized and issued) $10,000,000Excess of issue price over par 500,000 $ 10,500,000Common stock, $20 par (1,000,000 sharesauthorized, 825,000 shares issued) $16,500,000Excess of issue price over par 1,155,000 17,655,000Total paid-in capital $ 28,155,000Retained earnings* 96,400,000Total $124,555,000Deduct treasury stock (75,000 shares at cost) 1,755,000Total stockholders’ equity $122,800,000* $96,700,000 – $300,000. Since the organizing costs should have been expensed, the retained earnings should be $300,000 less.
