hello everyone hi welcome to the channel WallStreetmojo watch the video
[16]
till the end also if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us by
[20]
clicking the bela ican today we have a topic with us as unappropriated retained
[25]
earnings well this is a part of the shareholders equity we always refer to
[29]
and operate through the retained earnings whenever we talk about it retained earnings
[33]
shareholders equity always come into pictures let's try and understand first
[36]
and the foremost thing what is URE since simple terms the ure that is
[43]
Unappropriated retained earnings is that part is that part of the net
[48]
income earned by the firm that does not have a specific use outlined in the
[53]
current frame of time now the management might have an idea of how they want to
[57]
use it they might like to work on all scenarios and similar feature cash flows
[64]
before executing this idea so if it works out then it's really good but it
[68]
does not then the management is legally bound to disclose or implement the idea
[72]
in any case all part of the money that can be distributed to these shareholders
[76]
dividend now the next thing that I want to discuss is how does the URE Worked
[82]
how exactly this works well considering the IT consulting firm
[86]
photon a has let's say $ 5,000,000 of reporting revenues and
[92]
eventually you know let's say 1 million in retained earnings
[98]
in retained earnings re so not all the amount is automatically going to be
[103]
offered for the payment to the shareholders in the form of dividends
[105]
the Board of Director believe that you know it will be in the best interest of
[108]
the firm to expand hence decide to keep let's say $ 600,000 to reinvest to
[115]
reinvest their money and to be called as appropriated retain earnings since there
[124]
is there are no such plans for $ 400,000 that is $ 400,000 as of now this
[134]
will be calculated as the unappropriated RE URE right the whole part of the
[141]
amount can be distributed to the shareholders as dividend considering the
[144]
following you know table that I'm going to prepare for you
[148]
it's a $ 5,000,000 then we have expenses that goes in right $ 4,000,000 the net
[158]
retained income is as simple as that just deduct both of this above and from that
[164]
the appropriated retained earnings is how much $ 600,000 so when you reduct
[175]
just did not want from here so it will be $ 400,000 though this is used
[181]
let's say for the purchase of land and this can be distributed as dividends or
[193]
dividend payment right now now I will take you to why the unappropriated
[199]
retain earnings are important for the investors see unappropriated retained
[203]
earnings are the profits what what is it it's called the profits they are the
[207]
profits that have not been spent nor there is a plan to do so since they are
[211]
not directed towards these specific purpose by the ports so they are
[214]
available to be paid as the dividends right the appearance dividends so in fact
[219]
unappropriated retain earnings helps to determine the maximum dividend and that
[227]
can be paid out to these shareholders so the greater the URE the higher okay
[234]
the dividend that can be possibly be rewarded and mathematically it can be
[240]
expressed as dividend is equal to maximum of what maximum of URE 0
[248]
so this earning are distributed among all the outstanding shareholders or
[253]
shareholders of the company and paid out as dividends for the predetermined
[256]
dividend payment schedule now I'll take you the third part why URE exactly
[262]
matters see there are changes in the level of the URE and it can send a signal
[268]
it can sell a signal to the investor about the future plans of the company so
[273]
an increase in the value for example could mean that you know the company is
[278]
planning to invest in business in the near future so though
[286]
this releases the cash that could be paid out of the shoulder this might not
[289]
be the best course of action if the sector is in which the company operates
[293]
demands better machinery equipment and talent or other assets in order to
[297]
remain competitive so in simple terms the company has what we call as run out
[302]
of the ideas and that can help it grow both organically and in organic growth
[311]
and looks up a cap in such a scenario no the company might not be able to deliver
[315]
the healthy growth rate right and that is was delivering till yet so this would
[324]
eventually affect the return on equity the roe the share price as an investor
[330]
would like to withdraw the investment and pocket and the company that can offer
[333]
better growth now there are some exception part that I will I wish to
[338]
discuss see it can be distrained especially when the firm has both the
[345]
preferred stock and the common stock for stock and the common stocks like for
[352]
example the preferred stock can have the priority over the holder of the common
[355]
stocks in this case the payment of the dividend from the unappropriated
[359]
retained earnings is say to be restricted it is called as restricted
[364]
now speaking practically all the balances in the account of the retained
[367]
earning belongs to the owners and until they are paid out for the purpose in the
[372]
event of the company insolvency or bankruptcy both you would be used to pay
[378]
off the creditors with any remaining amount dissipated to the owners now what are
[382]
the accounting implication see the you URE reported in the owner's equity
[389]
okay the section owners equity section of the balance sheet so these are
[393]
regulated via the generally accepted accounting principles gaap okay for
[398]
example if the firm subsidiary issues is dividend after the parent company have
[401]
insured financial statements then the subsidiary company should disclose via the
[405]
formal document like you know pro forma trial balance or performa financial
[413]
second you know it only specifies the earning but does not specify these
[416]
circumstances in which they were earned in accordance with the gap companies
[422]
should specify the concerned information related to the earning part the earnings
[426]
in the form of the notes or the corporate documents like for example if
[429]
they have reduced due to the change in the accounting method such should be
[434]
duly be disclosed in the financials so based on this let me make my conclusions
[439]
see financial statement they both are explicitly and implicitly say a lot
[443]
about the company the URE okay form an important section and the
[448]
statements as they express a lot about the management it grow its its growth
[452]
strategy and the firms growth prospect if evaluated properly this can be an
[456]
important for the investor before they park their money in the firm so that's
[463]
