Solution

First, we need to calculate the number of shares to be distributed as a stock dividend. This is done by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the dividend percentage.

60,000 shares * 20% = 12,000 shares

Next, we calculate the total par value of the new shares. This is done by multiplying the number of new shares by the par value per share.

12,000 shares * 10/share=10/share = 120,000

This amount is transferred from Retained Earnings to Common Stock.

The new Common Stock balance is the old balance plus the par value of the new shares.

600,000+600,000 + 120,000 = $720,000

The new Retained Earnings balance is the old balance minus the par value of the new shares.

550,000550,000 - 120,000 = $430,000

The Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value remains the same because this is a small stock dividend.

So, the new stockholders' equity section after the stock dividend is distributed is as follows:

Common stock—10parvalue,150,000sharesauthorized,72,000sharesissuedandoutstanding10 par value, 150,000 shares authorized, 72,000 shares issued and outstanding 720,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par value, common stock 425,000Retainedearnings 425,000 Retained earnings 430,000 Total stockholders’ equity $ 1,575,000
