Answer :-
The correct answer is Option C - $5200000.
Explanation :-
In the question it was given that 100% stock dividend were declared and distributed.It means that if an investor have 100 share then he wiil get 100 share as stock dividend.
Shares Issued = 52,000 shares issued
Stock Dividend = 100%
Share distributed as stock dividend = 52,000 shares × 100%
Share distributed as Stock Dividend = 52,000 share
Par value of share = $50
Stock Dividend = Share distribution as Stock Dividend × Par value of share
Stock Dividend = 52,000 × $50 = $2600000
When Company declared a stock dividend then Common stock would be increased as stock would increase.
Common Stock After stock dividend = Stock Dividend + Common stock before stock dividend
Common Stock After stock dividend = $2600000 + $2600000
Common Stock After stock dividend = $5200000
