Part 1. Par value is $10, and market value is $18

No. of stock outstanding = $1,000,000/10 (already issued) + 40,000 (newly shares) = 140,000 shares

15% stock dividend = 140,000 x 0.15 = 21,000 new shares

Dr Retained earnings $378,000 (21,000 x $18)

Cr Common stock $210,000 (21,000 x $10)

Cr Additional Paid-in-Capital $168,000 (21,000 x $8)

Part 2. Par value is $5, and market value is $20

No. of stock outstanding = $1,000,000/5 (already issued) + 40,000 (newly shares) = 240,000 shares

15% stock dividend = 240,000 x 0.15 = 36,000 new shares

Journal Entry:

Dr Retained earnings $720,000 (36,000 x $20)

Cr Common stock $180,000 (36,000 x $5)

Cr Additional Paid-in-Capital $540,000 (36,000 x $15)
