Explanation / Answer

Par Value per Share $5, Total No of Shares = 75000/5=15000 shares,

The additional paid in capital= 150000, SO, the extra price per share is $10

Therefore Fair Value of Share is $5+$10=$15

Qtr 1 :Consolidated entry for stock dividend declaration and distribution

10 % Stock Dividend = 15000 Shares * 10%= 1500 shares

1500 shares X 15$ = 22500

Retained Earning A/c 22500

To Common Stock (1500X5) 7500

To Additional Paid Up Cap(BF) 15000

Qtr 2: 15% stock Dividend= 15% of (15000+1500)shares = 2475 shares

2475 shares X 15$= 37125

Consolidated entry for stock dividend declaration and distribution

Retained Earnings A/c Dr 37125

To Common Stock (2475 Shares X 5$) 12375

TO Additional Paid Up Cap (BF) 24750

3rd Qtr- NA

4th Qtr-

Before calc of div,

Total No of O/s shares in of 2017 = 15000 + 1500 + 2475 shares= 18975 shares

Journal Entry for Dividend

Retained Earning (18975X1$) 18975

TO DIvidend Payable /Cash 18975

Now, Calc for Stockholder's equity for the year ending 2017 is

Common Stock (18975 X 5$) = 94875-------a

Additional Paid up capital (18975X 10$)= 189750----b

Retained Earning = 575000+150000-22500-37125-18975=646400----c

Therefore Answer is a+b+c= 931025
