Morgan Inc. was organized on January 2, 1997 with the following capital structure:

10% cumulative preferred stock, par value $100 and liquidation value $105; authorized, issued and outstanding 1,000 shares, $100,000

Common stock, par value $25; authorized 100,000 shares;
Issued and outstanding 10,000 shares, $250,000

Morgan had net income of $450,000 for its first year, but no dividends were declared. How much was Morgan's book value per common share at December 31, 1997?

  1. $68.50
  2. $70
  3. $25
  4. $45.00
  5. $69.50

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The book value per share of cumulative preferred stock is its liquidation value plus any dividends in arrears.
Thus, the book value per preferred share is the $105 liquidation value plus $10 ($100 X 10%) of dividends in arrears, or $115. The total book value for preferred shares is $115,000 ($115 X 1000). The total book value of the company is $800,000 ($100,000 par value of preferred stock + $250,000 par value of common stock + retained earnings equal to $450,000 of net income). Hence, $685,000 ($800,000-115,000) is the book value of the common stock, and book value per common share is $68.50 ($685,000 / 10,000 shares).

From tax perspective, which of the following depreciation methods is usually the best?

  1. Double declining
  2. Modified accelerated
  3. Straight line
  4. Sum-of-digits

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Since Double Declining results in the biggest depreciation expense of the four in the initial years, it allows the biggest deferral of tax payments. These deferrals can sometimes be for an indefinite period, thus avoiding them almost altogether.
