What is the amount of the capitalization of retained earnings for the stock dividend?
Answer:
No. Of Shares issued & Outstanding, Dec 31, 16 = 30,000 shares
No. Of Shares purchased as Treasury Stock = 4,000 shares
No. Of Shares outstanding on the date of Stock Dividend = 30,000 - 4,000 = 26,000 shares
Stock Dividend Declared = 20%
No. Of Stocks declared as Dividend = 26,000 * 20% = 5,200 shares
Capitalization of Retained Earnings for Stock Dividend = 5,200 * $12
