hi else here and in our previous videos
[3]
we did the issue of shares cash dividend
[5]
in a stock dividend what we're doing
[7]
right now is we're going to do the
[8]
statement of changes in equity will then
[11]
use the statement of changes in equity
[12]
in order to complete this shareholders
[14]
equity section of the balance sheet /
[16]
statement of financial position let's
[19]
get to it at the end of our last video
[22]
we did a total for each of the
[25]
t-accounts this will give us the
[26]
necessary information to create the
[28]
statement of changes in equity make sure
[30]
you have this information listed down
[31]
because I'm not going to refer back to
[33]
it the statement of changes in equity is
[35]
always in column form it starts with the
[38]
title which includes the name of the
[40]
corporation the name of the statement
[42]
and the date in this case it's a period
[45]
of time so we have to state year ended
[47]
the columns go in the same order as the
[50]
accounts go in for the statement of
[52]
financial position / balance sheet the
[54]
shareholders equity section which means
[56]
that we start with preferred shares move
[58]
on to common shares contributed surplus
[60]
retained earnings and then a total
[62]
preferred shares and common shares both
[63]
have the number of shares and the
[65]
capital amount we then move on to
[69]
contributed surplus also called
[70]
contributed capital finally retained
[73]
earnings there is also a total account
[76]
but you can see that I've run out of
[78]
space so be aware there should be a
[79]
total account I'll do it on a separate
[81]
page we always start with opening
[83]
balances this is totally taken from the
[86]
t-accounts then all the business
[89]
transactions that actually occurred that
[91]
affected anything having to do with
[92]
equity we had the issue of shares which
[95]
increased common shares if we had our
[99]
total account here we would add that to
[101]
the total next we had a cash dividend
[103]
cash dividends go under retained
[106]
earnings we also had a stock dividend
[108]
I'm going to move the page up a little
[110]
the stock dividend increased common
[112]
shares and decrease the retained
[114]
earnings again all this information is
[116]
taken from the t-accounts finally we had
[119]
profit also called net income bad
[122]
impacts the retained earnings increasing
[124]
it at the end is the balance at the end
[127]
of the year note that there would be a
[130]
total column what would the total column
[133]
look like
[133]
I'm going to show it underneath here
[138]
notice that this 0 is the stock dividend
[141]
because a stock dividend causes retained
[143]
earnings to go down and common shares to
[145]
go up by the exact same amount the net
[147]
of those two amounts is zero notice that
[151]
this total is the addition both across
[154]
here as well as down here you know that
[159]
if the addition doesn't work in both
[161]
directions you've done something wrong
[163]
that is a statement of changes in
[165]
shareholders equity we're going to use
[167]
that information to create the
[168]
shareholders equity section of the
[170]
balance sheet also called the statement
[171]
of financial position I'm going to start
[174]
with the title shareholders equity add a
[176]
subtitle contributed capital then share
[180]
capital now I start listing the same
[183]
items as on the statement of changes in
[185]
equity in the same order and the amount
[190]
moving on I'm now going to add common
[192]
shares I now provide a total share
[198]
capital additional contributed capital
[201]
which is the contributed surplus also
[205]
called contributed capital that will
[208]
give me total contributed capital moving
[211]
the page up a little I now add retained
[214]
earnings and that will provide me with
[216]
total shareholders equity looking at
[219]
that together note that we start with
[222]
the shareholders equity move on to
[224]
contributed capital once we have the
[225]
total contributed capital we then add in
[228]
the retained earnings to get the total
[229]
shareholders equity and that is the
[232]
statement of financial position also
[234]
called the balance sheet shareholders
[236]
equity section I'll see you in the next
[238]
