4. On August 1, 2018, CDD Corp., declared a 10% stock dividend on its common stock when the market value of the common stock was $25 per share. The balance in the common stock account, before the stock dividend was declared, was $850,000. The par value of all common stock is $10. What is the total dollar amount credited to additional paid in capital - common stock on August 1, 2018?
Common stock = $850,000
Par value per share = $10
Existing outstanding number of common shares = Common stock / Par value per share
= 850,000/10
= 85,000
Stock dividend = 10%
Number of shares to be issued in the stock dividend = Existing outstanding number of common shares x Stock dividend
= 85,000 x 10%
= 8,500
Market value per share = $25
Amount credited to additional paid in capital - common stock on August 1, 2018 = Number of shares to be issued in the stock dividend x (Market value per share- Par value per share)
= 8,500 x (25-10)
= 8,500 x 15
= $127,500
