  6. Characteristics of Corporations Advantages: 1. Separate legal entity —a corporation, through its agents (officers and managers), may conduct business affairs with the same rights, duties, and responsibilities of a person. 2. Limited liability of stockholders —generally limited to investment. 3. Transferable ownership rights —through stock sale. 4. Continuous life -perpetual life as long as it continues to be successful. 5. Lack of mutual agency for stockholders —they do not have the power to bind the corporation to contracts. 6. Ease of capital accumulation —the corporate form enables a corporation to accumulate large amounts of capital from the combined investments of many stockholders.

  7. Characteristics of Corporations • Disadvantages: • Governmental regulation —must meet requirements of a state’s incorporation laws. • 2. Corporate taxation —corporate income is taxed; and when income is distributed to shareholders as dividends, it is taxed a second time as personal income (double taxation).

  8. Stockholders usually meet once a year. Ultimate control. Selected by a vote of the stockholders. Overall responsibility for managing the company. Organizing and Managing a Corporation C 1 11-8

Board of directors has final managing authority, but it usually limits its actions to establishing broad policy. c. Day-to-day direction of corporate business is delegated to executive officers appointed by the board.

  10. Corporate Organization and Management Incorporation —a charter application must be filed with the state. Upon payment of fees and issuance of the charter the corporation is formed. Organizational expenses -are the costs to organize a corporation (such as legal fees, promoters’ fees, and amounts paid to obtain a charter); these costs are expensed as incurred because it is difficult to determine the amount and timing of future benefits.

  11. Stockholders of Corporations 1. Rights of stockholders Specific rights are granted by the charter and general rights by state laws. 2. Common stockholders rights include right to: a. Vote at stockholders’ meeting. b. Sell or otherwise dispose of their stock. c. Purchase their proportional shares of any common stock later issued; this preemptive right protects stockholders’ proportionate interest in the corporation. d. Share with other common stockholders in any dividends. e. Share equally in any assets remaining after creditors and preferred stockholders are paid when, and if, the corporation is liquidated. f. Receive timely financial reports.

  12. Stockholders of Corporations 3. Stock certificates and transfer: A stock certificate is sometimes received as proof of share ownership. 4. Registrar and transfer agents:IF stock is traded on a major exchange, the corporation must have: a. Registrar who keeps stockholder records and prepares official lists of stockholders for stockholders’ meetings and dividend payments. b. Transfer agent who assists purchases and sales of shares by receiving and issuing certificates as necessary.

  13. Basics of Capital Stock Capital stock refers to any shares issued to obtain capital (owner financing). 1. Authorized stock —the total amount of stock that the charter authorizes for sale. a. Issued stock refers to stocks issued and held by stockholders or in corporate treasury. b. Outstanding stock refers to issued stock held by stockholders. c.
