    Dividends that are overdue are not considered a liability. No obligation exists until the board of directors formally “declares” that the corporation will pay a dividend. Preferred stockholders also have the ability to collect assets in the event of liquidation, which provides security. However, they sometimes do not have voting rights. Like common stock, companies may issue preferred stock for cash or for noncash…

    Many Investors desire preferred shares, because of the regular dividends, which act as an income investment and the priority they have in receiving dividends before the common stock shares and in case of business liquidity they still receive the cash before them.

When there is value gain in the market common stock, the convertible preferred shares have an additional potential to participate. Preferred shares have fixed dividends which the issuer…

    We learned that it can be difficult to prepare journal entries associated with the issuance of preferred and common stocks and the declaration and payment of dividends. The board of directors must always authorize all dividends. A dividend distributes cash, assets, or the company's stock. This is distributed to the company's stakeholders. Before authorizing a dividend, a company must have sufficient retained earnings and cash (cash dividend) or sufficient authorized stock (stock dividend). Before cash dividends are issued to stockholders, the following conditions must exist: the board of directors declares them, a sufficient cash balance is on hand, and a sufficient appropriated retained earnings balance exists. We also learned that there are differences on the balance sheet when cash dividends and stock dividends are issued. There are changes in the balance sheet when cash dividends are declared and distributed because it affects the assets and liabilities of the corporation. The cash and dividends payable…

    In scenario (b), Adria sells 860 shares of $100 par value, 7% preferred stock to her uncle. The upside to this transaction is that Uncle Marcello has no voting power in the company. The downside is that he must be paid a 7% dividend per share, whenever issued. It is good that the dividend is not cumulative preferred because Uncle Marcello has no rights to prior period’s unpaid dividends if one was not declared in those periods.…

    Preferred stock has many advantages and disadvantages. Unlike debt, preferred stock is flexible. Meaning preferred stock can miss annual payments unlike typical debt. Preferred stock not only is more flexible, it also helps increase financial advantage of companies. Preferred stock also helps corporations restructure themselves. However, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages. Common stockholder’s are below preferred stockholders, which means returns for common stockholder’s are always in jeopardy. Preferred Stock generally has a higher cost then debt financing as well. Preferred Stock is also harder to sell, since payments of dividends are not guaranteed. The stock is also restricted by issuing company’s policies, guidelines and qualifications unlike bonds. The major problem with Preferred Stock is the tax implications and the fact that companies are not obligated to pay stockholder’s dividends- those leaving Preferred Stockholder’s empty handed.…

    Cumulative Stocks - This type of preferred stock comes with a provision stipulating that if dividends have been skipped or omitted in the past, the holder will receive accumulated dividends in arrears. Furthermore, preferred stockholders will also receive dividend payouts before common shareholders. A cumulative preferred share can also be classified further by priority or preference, which will indicate its seniority over other preferred stocks and common shares during dividend payouts. If a dividend on a cumulative preferred is missed, it is not forgotten. Instead, it accumulates and must be paid off before any dividend payments are made to the common stockholders.…

    Preferred Stock

    • 335 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Preferred Stock is referred to as preferred, because there is a higher claim against the stock than common stocks. There is a difference from preferred stocks and common stock when it comes to their dividends and liquidation. A preferred stockholder would receive their dividends sooner than common stockholders. This makes it so that if a preferred stockholder were to decide to opt out of paying their dividends than the common stock will not have a dividend. “The best way to think of preferred stock is as a financial instrument that has characteristics of both debt (fixed dividends) and equity (potential appreciation).” (http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/preferredstock.asp) Some of the features of preferred stock would be the option for a company to change their preferred stocks into shares for the company’s common stock. This is good, but also bad for investors. With this option of conversion the initial price is high, but it also opens up an opportunity for selling. If the price for a company’s common stock were to rise than they might sell out real fast to create a capital gain. When a company does not pay their dividends, they begin to go into debt with the shareholders. This feature makes it so that the company has to pay the entire amount of preferred stock. The last feature I found to be good is that investors are able to receive partial earnings of what is left after the preferred dividends is paid. This is good for the investors, but not for the common stockholders. Common stockholders will not have the opportunity for these extra earnings. I personally would go with common stock, because I like to watch the growth of the stocks and researching their trends. If it was my deciding for a company I would go with preferred stocks, because there is a variety of potential in capital gain.…
