As of such date Northern will, by the appropriation of $140,332, from earned surplus, increase its depreciation reserve to $148,867. Such amount;, the company states, is calculated by using rates prescribed in an order of the P. S. Commission of Wisconsin certifying depreciation rates for Northern under a 4% compound inter¬ est method. Northern will eliminate its total deficit in earned surplus as or Dec. 31, 1942, by a charge to the capital surplus created as above described. Northern's capitalization will then consist of $25,000 common stock and $578,844 of capital surplus, a total of $603,845. ,/ Capital Acquisition by Superior of the Common Stock of Northern—After capital contribution by American to Northern and the adjustments above are effected, American will sell the common stock of the described 5,000 shares ($100 par) common stock of Superior.
