WORKING NOTES:
CALCULATION OF TOTAL VALUE OF DIVIDEND IS PAID
Numer of Common Shares outstanding =                     1,00,000 Shares
Stock Dividend Declared = 100,000 Shares X 20%                         20,000 Shares
Market Value of 1 Shares $                             10 Per Shares
Total value of dividend = 20,000 Shares X $ 10 = $                 2,00,000
Par value of the 20,000 shares = 20,000 Shares X $ 2 = $                    40,000
Addittinal paid in capital in excess of par = $ 200,000 - $ 40,000 = $                 1,60,000
