Explanation / Answer

a)average amount of common share=(4000+20000)/4000=$6


b)2 for 1 stock split means additional shares issued of 4000 but the retained earnings will not be effected and remains same as 50000


c) Total dividend Paid=1*(4000+3000-1000)=6000
retained earnings=5000-6000=44000

d) 20% of common stock= 20 %*( 4000-1000) = 600 shares at market price
=600*8=4800
so retained earnings will decrease by it =50000-4800=55200
