A firms balance sheet has the following entries:
Cash 10, 000, 000
total liabilities 30, 000, 000
common stock (50 par 2,000, 000 shares outstanding) 10, 000, 000
Additional paid in capital 3, 000, 000
retained earnings: 42, 000, 000
What will be each of these balance sheet entries after:
A. A three for one stock split
B. a 1.25 per share cash dividend
C. A 10 % stock dividend (current price of stock 15 a share)
a) 3 to 1 stock split.
There are no changes on the balance sheet, except there will be now 6,000,000 outstanding shares with 5/3 = 1.67 par value.
b) Cash dividend = 1.25 x 2,000,000 = 2,500,000
Retained earnings = 42,000,000 - 2,500,000 = 39,500,000
Cash = 10,000,000 - 2,500,000 = 7,500,000
c) 10% stock dividend
New shares = 2,000,000 x 10% = 200,000
New common stock = 10,000,000 + 200,000 x 5 = 11,000,000
New Additional paid in capital = 3,000,000 + 200,000 x (15 - 5) = 5,000,000
New retained earnings = 42,000,000 - 200,000 x 15 = 39,000,000
