Due to the number of fraudulent manipulations involving stocks, many states have legislated accounting for stockholders’ equity transactions, and they are controlled to some degree (., conditions under which dividends may be paid). This module covers accounts located within stockholders’ equity (., common stock) and events affecting stockholders’ equity (., bankruptcy). Common stockholders’ equity consists of two major categories: contributed capital and retained earnings. Retained earnings are either appropriated or unappropriated. Paid-in capital consists of paidin excess and legal capital. Legal capital is the par or stated value of stock. When significant changes occur in stockholders’ equity accounts, enterprises are required to disclose them. Most companies satisfy this requirement by issuing a statement of changes in stockholders’ equity (illustrated below). These statements show changes in the number of shares (not included due to space limits) as well as dollars between balance sheet dates. The statement of changes in stockholders’ equity may also be used to report comprehensive income. A. Common Stock 580 B. Preferred Stock 580 C. Stock Subscriptions 581 D.
