Answer 1

Preferred Shares = $30000 / 0.30 = 100000 shares issued

Common Stock	$ 1,50,00,000
Preferred Stock	$      30,00,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par-common stock	$      70,00,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par-preferred stock	$                    -
Total Paid in Capital (Before Stock Dividend)	$ 2,50,00,000

Retained Earnings before Stock Dividend = $33500000

Total Stockholders Equity before stock dividend = $58500000

Common Stock	$ 1,54,50,000	=750000*20+750000*3%*20
Preferred Stock	$      30,00,000	=100000*30
Paid-in capital in excess of par-common stock	$      72,25,000	=7000000+750000*3%*10
Paid-in capital in excess of par-preferred stock	$                    -
Total Paid in Capital (After Stock Dividend)	$ 2,56,75,000

Retained Earnings after stock dividend = $33500000 - 750000*3%*30 = $32825000

Total Stockholders Equity after stock dividend = $25675000+32825000 = $58500000
