Answer of Part a:
Before Stock Dividend:
No. of Stock Outstanding = Common Stock / Value per stock
No. of Stock Outstanding = $400,000 / $1
No. of Stock Outstanding = 400,000
No. of Stock Dividend = 400,000 * 20%
No. of Stock Dividend = 80,000
After Stock Dividend:
No. of Stock Outstanding = 400,000 + 80,000
No. of Stock Outstanding = 480,000
