$Answer
Solution a:
Stock dividend distributed on April 1 is large stock dividend and accounted at par value = 80000*100%*$5 = $400,000
Stock dividend distributed on Dec 7 is small stock dividend and accounted at market value = (80000+80000)*4%*$14 = $89,600
Cash dividend paid on Dec 20 = Preference dividend + Common stock dividend
= ($1,300,000*5%) + (166400*0.80) = $198,120

Solution b:
Retained earnings for 2012 = Opening retained earnings + Net Income for 2012 - Stock dividend - Cash dividend
= $656,000 + $253,000 - $400,000 - $89,600 - $198,120 = $221,280
