What are the reasons for a stock dividend instead of a cash dividend?

Answer» Hello \: It's \: Jeet \: Here \: For \: Your \: Help


\boxed{Here \: is \: your \: answer}
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

For stock investors seeking instant gratification as a reward for having placed their FUNDS in profitable companies, it would seem that receiving a cash dividend is always the better option. However, this is not necessarily true.

In many ways, it can be better for both the company and the shareholder to pay and RECEIVE a stock dividend at the end of a profitable fiscal year. This type of dividend is as good as cash, with the added benefit that no taxes have to be paid when receiving the same.

For example, one hundred shares of Microsoft bought at $21 per share in 1986 ballooned to 28,800 shares after 25 years. This turned Bill Gates into the richest man in the world. Many of Microsoft’s shareholders and EMPLOYEES who got shares of stock in the company's early years also turned into multi-millionaires.

One of the best reasons for giving a stock dividend instead of a cash dividend may be that in giving a stock dividend, a company and its shareholders forge psychologically stronger links, with the investor owning more of the company with the additional shares.

Stock dividends are thought to be superior to cash dividends as long as they are not accompanied with a cash option. Companies that pay stock dividends are giving their shareholders the choice of keeping their profit or turning it to cash whenever they so desire; with a cash dividend, no other option is given.

But this does not mean that cash dividends are bad, they just lack choice. However, a shareholder could still reinvest the proceeds from the cash dividend BACK into the company through a dividend reinvestment plan.

Opting for stock dividends is not always better than taking the cash due to the sometimes unpredictable nature of the stock market. Oct. 24,1929 will forever be remembered as the start of the Great DEPRESSION, the first day of a stock market collapse that crippled the United States for the next several years. Just days before, the Dow Jones appeared rock solid. During the Depression, most shares of stock were not worth the paper on which the stock certificates were printed.

How are dividends paid when there are dividends in arrears?

Answer»

Cash dividend is money paid to stockholders, normally out of the corporation's current earnings or accumulated profits. Not all companies pay a dividend. Usually, the board of directors determines if a dividend is desirable for their particular COMPANY based upon various financial and economic FACTORS. Dividends are commonly paid in the form of cash DISTRIBUTIONS to the shareholders on a monthly, quarterly or YEARLY basis. All dividends are taxable as income to the recipients.

Why do bonds rarely sell for their maturity value?

Answer»

The reasons why bonds rarely sell for their maturity value are:

The interest paid is usually FIXED at the interest rate that is stated on the face of the bond. As a result, the amount of interest paid each year does not change during the life of the bond.The market interest rate—the rate that bond buyers demand—is CHANGING daily.

To illustrate, let's assume that a 6% bond will mature in ten years and has a maturity value of $100,000. This means that the BONDHOLDERS will be receiving $6,000 in interest in each of the ten years. If there is a DAY when the bond buyers demand an interest rate of 6.2% then the bond's value on that day will be less than $100,000. If on another day the bond buyers demand 5.9% interest, the bond's value on that day will be greater than $100,000.

5815.

What is the book value of bonds payable?

Does a company have to use the IRS years of useful life for depreciation?

Answer»

For the company's financial statements, the economic life of the asset should be used—not the years of useful life required for income TAX purposes. In other words, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) might stipulate that certain equipment is to be depreciated on the income tax return over 7 years. However, the company knows that the equipment will be useful in producing revenues for 10 years. Accounting's matching principle requires that the company's financial statements match the equipment's COSTS to its revenues over a 10-year period. (This will result in the most accurate measurement of the company's accounting NET income.) However, on the tax return the company must follow the IRS rules and will depreciate the asset over 7 years. Obviously, this will result in two sets of depreciation amounts. (Further, the company's financial statements can use straight-line depreciation over the 10 years while the income tax return is using an accelerated method of depreciation over the 7 years.)

The difference in each year's depreciation is referred to as a timing difference. The reason is that over the life of the equipment, the TOTAL amount of depreciation EXPENSE is likely to be the same. It is just a matter of timing as to when that total amount is reported on the financial statements versus the income tax returns.

With regard to depreciation, what does the term mid-month convention mean?

Answer»

In depreciation, the mid-month conventionmeans that an asset placed into service during a given month is assumed to have been placed into service in the middle of that month. For example, if you place a warehouse into service on October 6, you will assume it was placed into service in the middle of October and will record depreciation for HALF of the month of October. If a building is placed into service on October 23, you will assume it was placed into service in the middle of October and will record depreciation for half of the month of October.

The mid-month convention ALSO applies to the disposal of an asset. This means that an asset that is disposed of on October 25 will be assumed to have been disposed of in the middle of October. If an asset is disposed of on October 3, it is also assumed that the asset was disposed of in the middle of October. In either situation, depreciation will be recorded for half of the month of October.

The mid-month convention is pertinent for the income tax depreciation for certain property.  You can find more on this in the INTERNAL Revenue Service PUBLICATION 946.

What is the units of activity depreciation?

Answer»

The units of ACTIVITY depreciationis ONE of several methods ofdepreciation. The units of activitymethod of depreciation is unique in that a plant asset's useful LIFE is EXPRESSED in the total units that are expected to be PRODUCED or the asset's total activity during its life.

5826.

What does Accumulated Depreciation tell us?

Answer»

Accumulated Depreciation reports the amount of depreciation that has been taken from the time an asset was acquired until the date of the balance sheet. The COST of an asset minus its accumulated depreciation is the asset's carry value or book value.

Since depreciation is an allocation of an asset's cost BASED on the estimated useful LIFE, you should not assume that the depreciation is an INDICATOR of what's occurring to the asset's market value. For example, a building in an excellent location may be increasing in value even though depreciation is taken. The present market value MIGHT be three times the original cost and yet the accumulated depreciation is now equal to the asset's cost—meaning its book value is $0.

The amount reported in Accumulated Depreciation merely reports the total amount of an asset's cost that has been sent over to the income statement as Depreciation Expense since the asset was acquired.

Why does LIFO usually produce a lower gross profit than FIFO?

Answer»

FIFO and LIFO accounting are methods used in managing inventory and financial MATTERS involving the amount of money a company has to have TIED up within inventory of produced goods, raw MATERIALS, parts, components, or feed STOCKS. They are used to manage assumptions of cost SHEET related to inventory, stock repurchases (if purchased at different prices), and various other accounting purposes.

5830.

Why would a company use LIFO instead of FIFO?

Answer»

If a company that sells products (retailer, manufacturer, etc.) finds the cost of its items increasing, the use of LIFO will result in less taxable income and less income tax payments than FIFO. Over a long period of time, or when costs increase dramatically, the lower income tax payments will be significant.

Another reason for a company to use the LIFO cost flow assumption is to improve the matching of costs with sales. Under LIFO, the recent costswill be matched on the income statement with the recent sales revenues. (RECALL that LIFO means the "last costs in" will be the "first costs out" of inventory and onto the income statement as the cost of goods sold.)

Let's illustrate this with an example. A new company purchases aluminum for $1.00 per pound and sells it for $1.20 per pound. After several months, the company has 10,000 pounds of aluminum in inventory at a cost of $10,000. Its next purchase of 20,000 pounds came with a cost increase: the cost of aluminum increased to $1.10 per pound. The company immediately increased its selling price by ten cents per pound and sold 10,000 pounds of aluminum for $1.30 per pound. The company's income statement will report sales of $13,000. The company must now match the cost of the 10,000 pounds of aluminum with the $13,000 of sales.

Under LIFO, the cost of goods sold will be $11,000 (10,000 lbs. sold X the recent cost of $1.10 per lb.). Using FIFO, the cost of goods sold will be $10,000 (10,000 lbs. sold X the first or older cost of $1.00 per lb.). How much gross profit did the company actually EARN? Did it earn $2,000 ($13,000 - $11,000) as LIFO indicated? Or, did the company earn $3,000 ($13,000 - $10,000) as indicated by FIFO?

Business-savvy people will say the company EARNED only $2,000 from its main operating activity of buying and selling aluminum. They argue that the true profit is the amount remaining after you replace the 10,000 pounds of aluminum that was sold. If it will cost $1.10 per pound to replace the aluminum that was sold, the true profit is $2,000. The $3,000 computed under FIFO includes $1,000 of phantom or illusory profits. (In other words, the company was lucky to be holding 10,000 pounds of aluminum when the aluminum market increased by ten cents per pound.)

In our example, LIFO will MEAN $1,000 less of taxable income and $400 less in tax payments
for a corporation with a combined federal and state income tax rate of 40%. That's good for the company's cash flow. It will help the company meet its payments to its suppliers for the higher COSTING aluminum.

Why Does Inventory Get Reported on Some Income Statements?

Answer»

It is an asset and its ending balance should be reported as a current asset on a company's balance sheet. Inventory is not an INCOME statement account. However, the change in Inventory is a component in the calculation of the Cost of Goods Sold. (Cost of Goods Sold is considered to be an EXPENSE and is subtracted from SALES on a merchandising company's income statement.) Some income statements will show the calculation of Cost of Goods Sold as Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases = Goods Available - Ending Inventory. In that situation the beginning and ending inventory does appear on the income statement.

The compound interest on a certain sum for 2years at 10%

Answer»

Compound Interest = Total AMOUNT of Principal and Interest in future (or Future VALUE) less Principal amount at present (or Present Value)

                                = [P (1 + i)n] – P

                                = P [(1 + i)n – 1]

(Where P = Principal, i = nominal annual interest RATE in percentage terms, and n = number of COMPOUNDING periods.)

Take a three-year loan of $10,000 at an interest rate of 5% that compounds annually. What would be the amount of interest?  In this case, it would be: $10,000 [(1 + 0.05)3 – 1] = $10,000 [1.157625 – 1] = $1,576.25.
