The second supposititious corporation
has exactly the same surplus that the
nrst one has, namely, $7,000,000 But
the second corporation is in no posi-
ton to use that surplus for dividends
or anything else. 1t would take all of
the cash, the collection of all the re-

able. The surplus Is invested entirely
in the plant and is of no use to the

Having explained the form under
which a balance sheet is constructed
in the preceding articles in this series,
it is now in order to look little closer
into exactly what makes surplus. The
point is important because we hear in
these days so many comments to the
effect that this or that corporation
could continue to pay dividends because
they have so large a surplus. Some
times that is true and sometimes 1t is
untrue. For example, take the follow
