- Which of the following statements is NOT CORRECT? When a corporation’s shares are owned by a few individuals who own most of the stock or are part of the firm’s management, we say that the firm is “closely, or privately, held.” “Going public” establishes a firm’s true intrinsic value and ensures that a liquid market will always exist for the firm’s shares. Publicly owned companies have sold shares to investors who are not associated with management, and they must register with and report to a regulatory agency such as the SEC. When stock in a closely held corporation is offered to the public for the first time, the transaction is called “going public,” and the market for such stock is called the new issue market.arrow_forwardAnswer the following: Is it true or false that corporations muse issue common stock, but may or may not decide to issue preferred stock?

- I have been told by a colleague who is studying accounting that our current accounting policy in relation to dividend may not be correct or in accordance with accounting standards. My colleague stated that many public companies have dividend policies, which have been communicated to shareholders as to the amount of the fully franked distribution, which will be paid to shareholders. It may be argued that such a policy provides the company with a constructive liability to pay the dividend. Currently, the dividend is not treated as constructive liability in Cairns Ltd. Could you please advise whether the constructive liability should arise?arrow_forwardThe directors of Merchant Corporation are considering the issuance of a stock dividend. They have asked you to discuss the proposed action by answering the following questions. Instructions a. What is a stock dividend?

Dividends due to common stockholders are cumulative. c. Common stockholders have the right to elect a firm's directors. d.

Explain the term outstanding stock. Is it true or false that corporations muse issue common stock, but may or may not decide to issue preferred stock? Is it true or false that all forms and classes of stock carry voting rights? Is it true of false that stock sold for amounts in excess of par value results in a gain reported on the income statement?arrow_forwardAs discussed in the chapter, preferred stock offers an investor certain preferences over common stock in relation to dividends and liquidation value. In theory, these preferences should make preferred shares more attractive to potential investors than common stock. In practice, however, a majority of companies do not issue preferred stock, and most investors seem to favor putting their investment dollars into common shares. Discuss some of the reasons a company might not issue preferred stock, and why most investors choose common over preferred.arrow_forward
