Compute the shares outstanding after stock dividend, using the equation as shown below:
Shares outstanding = Shares outstanding before stock dividend*(1 + Dividend percentage)
= 14,000 shares*(1 + 1)
= 28,000 shares
Hence, the shares outstanding after the stock dividend is 28,000 shares.
Compute the market price per share after the stock dividend, using the equation as shown below:
Market price = (Shares outstanding before stock dividend*Market price)/ Shares outstanding after the stock dividend
= (14,000 shares*$46)/ 28,000 shares
= $644,000/ 28,000 shares
= $23 per share
Hence, the market price per share after the stock dividend is $23.
