Every investor uses his own way & thinking of investing in stocks. The most ideal way to invest in stocks i would say, is to look at the fundamentals and future prospects of the stocks which you wish to buy or sell. There are a lot many sites that provide few fundamental details of stocks but only a few of them provide you right buy sell decisions based on their fundamentals and how that company has been performing for past few years.

There is no minimum or maximum number of days to hold the shares, you will receive any due dividends provided your name is 'on the register' of shareholders on the date set by the company paying the dividend, you need to buy the shares a few days in advance of this date before they go 'ex dividend' the ex dividend date is usually at least two working days before the register date to allow the keepers of the register to ensure it is up to date and the dividends are paid correctly.

a. What does the cumulative provision related to the preferred stock mean?

The cumulative effect of the declaration and payment of a cash dividend is to decrease both stockholders' equity and total assets. Preferred stock that is said to be cumulative entails that if a company does not pay any dividend it must make up for it. Preferred stock holders must be paid any of the unpaid prior year dividends before common stockholders receive dividends. (Weygandt, Kimmel, & Kieso, 2010)

b. I thought that common stock was presently selling at $29.50 but the company has the stock stated at $1 per share. How can that be?

Par relationship has no relationship with market value. When the Harris Corporation issues stock for less than par value it debits the account paid-in capital in excess of par value. Prices for common stock vary depending on market pressures. Common stock also appreciates in value, permitting people to sell their stock at a higher price than they paid.

c. Why is the company buying back its common stock? Furthermore, the treasury stock has a debit balance because it is subtracted from stockholder's equity. Why is treasury stock not reported as an asset if it has a debit balance?

The company is buying back its common stock because it will help increase the company's share price. Buying back our shares adds to the demand for your company's shares. Harris Company has more cash than needed. Cash doesn't earn much because of low interest rates. So it is better to let your money make money for you.

Treasury stock is not reported as an asset if it has a debit balance because when the company disposes the shares, it credits the treasury stock for the cost of the shares purchased. This means that there is outstanding stock. Treasury stock reduces stockholders claims on corporate assets.

d. Why is it necessary to show additional paid-in capital? Why not just show common stock at the total amount paid?

It is necessary to show additional paid-in capital because it includes the excess of amounts paid over par or stated value and paid-in capital from treasury stock. (Weygandt, Kimmel, & Kieso, 2010) Common stock cannot be shown just at the total amount paid because it includes the par amount. State laws entail that a corporation is to record and report independently the par amount of issued shares from the amount received that was greater than the par amount.
