15) Who uses information about "equity" and what information about equity is useful to financial
statement users?
Answer: As equity has legal priority below that of liabilities in general—meaning that available funds go
toward paying off liabilities prior to paying equity claims should the enterprise be liquidated—equity
holders are more concerned about the equity accounts than creditors.

Equity holders who do have residual claims on the enterprise are concerned about the size of their claims,
and they need to be aware of changes to their share of profits. Consequently, accounting reports need to
provide detailed information about the composition of equity and changes in equity that can result in the
dilution of owners' stakes in the business.

Equity holders are interested in distinguishing (i) changes in equity due to direct contributions or
withdrawals of capital from (ii) changes in equity derived from return on equity capital (i.e., income).
This categorization is natural because it separates capital transactions with owners from the entity's
income generating transactions with non-owners such as customers, employees, and suppliers.

Objective: 13.1 Describe the characteristics of different types of share equity and identify the characteristics that are

16) Explain the meaning of "contributed capital" and "common share." What distinguishes a common
share from a preferred share?
Answer:
common share: An equity interest that has the lowest priority and represents the residual ownership
interest in the company.

contributed capital: The component of equity that reflects amounts received by the reporting entity from
transactions with its owners, net of any repayments from capital.

Any share that does not represent the residual interest in the company is a preferred share. Preferred
shares have priority over the common shares.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws


regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states


where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot


make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current


donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several


printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
