Expert Solution

The announcement of a stock dividend that amounts to 100% of the shares outstanding is an example of a large stock dividend. In case of large stock dividends, the newly issued shares under the dividend are valued at the par value. In this case, a 100% stock dividend would imply issuance of 3500 new shares at $1 per share. The $ 3500 worth of extra value generated is deducted from the firm's retained earnings and credited to the par value account. The capital in excess of par account is left untouched primarily because the dividend payout is a large stock dividend. In case of a small stock dividend (which issues extra shares to the tune of 20-25% of total shares outstanding) the newly issued shares are valued at the stock's fair value (would be equal to the stock's market value of $ 19 in this case). The par value portion of this new issuance proceeds will be credited to the common stock and the remaining to the capital in excess of par account. The entire new issuance proceeds will be deducted from the firm's retained earnings account.

Large Stock Dividend Scenario: Issue of 3500 new shares at par value of $ 1 per share

	Pre-Dividend	Post-Dividend
Common Stock	$ 3500	$ 7000
Capital in Excess of Par	$ 24000	$ 24000
Retained Earnings	$ 31400	$ 27900
Stockholder's Equity (Total)	$ 58900	$ 58900
