Answer 1

.d. All of these answer choices are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

600,000 x 10% = 60,000 shares x 15 market price = 900,000 stock dividends

60,000 x 10 face value = 600,000 common stock

60,000 x 5 = 300,000 additional paid-in (a)

retained earnings 900,000

stock dividends 900,000 (c)

-- when declaring the dividends---

stock dividneds 900,000

common stock 600,000

additional paid in capital 300,000

-- to record payment ----

When delcaring we decrease RE which is equity by 900,00

then when performing the payment we increase common stock and additional paid-in captal by a totla of 900,000

so the equity remains unchanged. (b)

Thus, all answer choices are correct
