Question

On January 1, 2019, Fitbit goes public and issues 50 million shares at $20 per share. Fitbit had 200 million shares prior to going public and the book value of the common stock & additional paid in capital was $500 million. On January 1, 2020, Fitbit shares are trading at $45 per share and, for the first time ever, Fitbit buys back 20 million shares. What is the January 1, 2020 balance of common stock & APIC?

Answer 1

Answer:

$600 million

Explanation:

On January 1, 2020, the balance of common stock & APIC

Common stock & APIC = Paid-In Capital + Share Capital raised by issuing 50 million shares at $20 per share - Treasury Stock

Here

Paid-In Capital is $500 millions

Issue of 50 million shares at $20

Treasury Stock is 20 million shares at $45 per share

By putting the values, we have:

Common stock & APIC = $500 million + $1000 million - (20 million shares * $45 per share)

Common stock & APIC = $1500 millions - $900 million = $600 million
