Shareholders' Equity

Learning map / full-note index(學習地圖 · 完整筆記索引)

  • Corporate form 公司型態 — separate legal entity, limited liability(獨立法人、有限責任)
  • Share capital & issuance 股本與發行 — par / no-par / stated value(面值/無面值/設定價值)
  • Dividends, three dates 股利三日期 — declaration / record / payment(宣告/登記/發放)
  • Share dividend & split 股票股利與分割 — small@market, large@par; split = no entry(小額按市價、大額按面值;分割不入帳)
  • Preference shares 優先股 — cumulative arrears before ordinary(累積積欠先於普通股)
  • Treasury shares 庫藏股 — contra-equity, never P/L(權益抵減、絕不入損益)
  • Reporting & analysis 報導與分析 — equity statement, EPS / PE / yield / book value

Shareholders' equity structure(股東權益結構)

flowchart TD E["Shareholders' Equity 股東權益"] --> SC["Contributed / Share Capital 股本"] E --> RE["Retained Earnings 保留盈餘"] E --> RES["Reserves 準備"] E --> TS["(−) Treasury Shares 庫藏股 (contra)"] SC --> ORD["Share Capital—Ordinary at par 普通股(面值)"] SC --> PREF["Share Capital—Preference at par 優先股(面值)"] SC --> PREM["Share Premium 股本溢價"]

Capital splits into par (ordinary / preference) + premium; treasury is a deduction.(股本拆成面值+溢價,庫藏股為抵減項。)

Cash-dividend timeline(現金股利時間軸)

flowchart LR D["Declaration date 宣告日
Dr. Retained Earnings
Cr. Dividends Payable"] --> R["Record date 登記日
NO ENTRY 不作分錄"] R --> P["Payment date 發放日
Dr. Dividends Payable
Cr. Cash"]

Liability arises on declaration; record date has no entry; cash paid on payment date.(負債於宣告日產生、登記日不作分錄、發放日付現。)

Which value? decision map(用哪個價值:決策圖)

A transaction in equity — what do I record?
  │
  ├─ Issue shares 發行股份
  │     Share Capital = par × shares; excess → Share Premium
  │     股本=面值×股數;超出計入股本溢價
  │
  ├─ Cash dividend 現金股利
  │     Declaration → liability; Record → none; Payment → cash
  │
  ├─ Share dividend 股票股利
  │     small (<~20–25%) @ MARKET; large @ PAR
  │     小額按市價、大額按面值
  │
  ├─ Share split 股票分割
  │     NO ENTRY — par & count change only 不作分錄
  │
  └─ Treasury 庫藏股 (cost method)
        Purchase Dr.Treasury; Reissue above→Cr.SP-Treasury;
        below→Dr.SP-Treasury then Retained Earnings. NEVER P/L.

Signature formulas(招牌公式)

Issue at premium:Cash = Share Capital(par) + Share Premium(excess)
Outstanding = Issued − Treasury(流通在外=已發行 − 庫藏股)
Basic EPS = (Net income − Preference dividends) ÷ Weighted-avg ordinary shares
PE = Market price ÷ EPS  Dividend yield = DPS ÷ Market price
Book value/share = (Total equity − Preference equity) ÷ Ordinary shares outstanding

Issuing shares — key points(發行股份要點)

  • Share Capital = par only; any excess → Share Premium(股本只記面值,超出計入溢價)
  • No-par: whole proceeds to Share Capital;stated value: split like par(無面值全進股本;設定價值處理同面值)
  • noncashFor assets/services: record at fair value of what is received or given(非現金按公允價值入帳)
Compound entry example (premium issue) → index §1

Dividends — key points(股利要點)

  • Liability on declaration date; record date no entry; payment date pays cash(負債在宣告日;登記日不作分錄)
  • Cumulative preference carries unpaid dividends as arrears — cleared before ordinary(累積優先股積欠須先清償)
  • trapShare dividend: small @ market, large @ par; total equity unchanged(股票股利小額按市價、大額按面值,權益不變)
Three-date entries & $90,000 arrears allocation → index §2, §3

Treasury shares — key points(庫藏股要點)

  • Contra-equity, debit balance(cost method)— deducted from equity(權益抵減、借方餘額)
  • Reissue above cost → credit Share Premium—Treasury; below cost → debit SP-Treasury then Retained Earnings
  • trapOwn-share transactions never hit profit or loss — no "gain/loss on sale"(自家股交易絕不入損益)
Buy / reissue above & below cost → index §4

Signature trap(招牌易錯)

Treasury credit balance / "gain on sale". Treasury Shares always carry a debit balance (contra-equity, shown in parentheses), and reissuing them — above or below cost — never produces a gain or loss on the income statement. Differences flow through Share Premium—Treasury / Retained Earnings.
最常見錯誤:把庫藏股記成貸方、或再發行時認列「出售利益」。庫藏股恆為借方(抵減項、以括號表示);高於/低於成本再發行都不影響損益,差額走庫藏股股本溢價/保留盈餘。
