Number of new shares = Dividend percent x Number of shares outstanding
= .10 x 120000 = 12000
Common Stock = Numbers of shares outstanding x par value per share
= (120000 + 12000) x $2 = $264000
Capital in excess of par = Original account balance + [ Number of new shares x (Stock price – Par value)]
= $100000 + 12000 x (10 - 2) = $196000
Retained Earnings = Original account balance – (Number of new shares x Stock price)
= 454000 – (12000 x $10) = $334000
