Silver Dollar Corp. had the balances below on January 15, 2015, in its stockholders’ equity accounts. On that same day, the company declared a 2% stock dividend, when the stock had a current market value of $20 per share. The stock dividends are distributed on February 20, 2015. Prepare the journal entries required on each date.

Common Stock, $2 par (100,000 shares issued) $ 200,000
Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par—Common Stock 470,000
Retained Earnings 1,060,000

Expert Solution

Number of common stock outstanding = 100,000

Current market value of 1 common stock = $20

Stock dividend declared = 2%

Hence, number of shares to be issued = 100,000 x 2%

= 2,000

Hence, amount to be debited to retained earnings = Number of shares to be issued x Current market value of 1 common stock

= 2,000 x 20

= $40,000

Amount to be credited to common stock dividend distributable = Number of shares to be issued x Par value per share

= 2,000 x 2

= $4,000

Amount to be credited to Paid in capital, in excess of par - common stock = Number of shares to be issued x (market value of 1 common stock - Par value per share)

= 2,000 x (20 - 2)

= $36,000
