Expert Solution

As per policy, only 4 parts of a question are allowed to answer at a time, so answering 7 parts here :

Par value of common stock = $6000000 / 2000000 = $3 per Common Share
Outstanding Common Stock = 2000000 - 100000 = 1900000
Outstanding Preferred Stock = ($8000000/$100) - 10000 = 70000

Ans 1) Preferred dividend = (70000 * $100) * 2% = $140000
Cash dividend to Common shareholder= $40,000,000 - $140,000 = $39860000

Ans 2) Dividend per share:
Common=	39860000/1900000 = $20.98
Preferred=	140000/70000 = $2

Ans 3) Preferred dividend (with arrears) = (70000 * $100) * 2% * (3 + 1)= $140000 * 4 = $560000
Cash dividend to Common shareholder= $40,000,000 - $560,000 = $39440000

Ans 4) Outstanding Common Stock = 2000000 - 100000 = 1900000

Ans 5) Outstanding Preferred Stock after split= [($8000000/$100) - 10000] * (2/1) = 70000 * 2 = 140000

Ans 6) At 5% common stock dividend, new shares mailed to existing shareholders = 1900000 * 5% = 95000 shares

Ans 7)Journal Entry to record the stock dividend :

Accounts Title	Debit $	Credit $
Stock Dividend	1425000		(95000*15)
Common Stock		285000	(95000*3)
Capital Surplus		1140000	(95000*12)
