Question

A company with 100,000 authorized shares of $7 par common stock issued 46,000 shares at $16. Subsequently, the company declared a 2% stock dividend on a date when the market price was $30 per share. What is the amount transferred from the retained earnings account to paid-in capital accounts as a result of the stock dividend

Answer 1

$27,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount transferred from the retained earnings account to paid-in capital accounts as a result of the stock dividend:

= Shares issued * Percentage of stock dividend * Market price

= 46,000 shares * 2% * $30

= 46000*0.02*$30

= $27,600
