1.

Number of shares outstanding before stock dividend = 52,000

Stock dividend = 50%

Number of shares issued in stock dividend = Number of shares outstanding before stock dividend x Stock dividend percentage

= 52,000 x 50%

= 26,000

In case of large stock dividend, par value of shares is considered.

After stock dividend, retained earnings will decrease by = Number of shares issued in stock dividend x Par value of 1 share

= 26,000 x 10

= $260,000

After stock dividend, common stock will increase by = Number of shares issued in stock dividend x Par value of 1 share

= 26,000 x 10

= $260,000

Common stock—$10 par value, 120,000 shares authorized, 78,000 shares issued and outstanding $ 780,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par value, common stock 210,000
Retained earnings 405,000
Total stockholders’ equity $ 1,395,000

2.

Number of shares outstanding after stock dividend = Number of shares outstanding before stock dividend + Number of shares issued in stock dividend

= 52,000 + 26,000

= 78,000
