Answer a-1

If Freya stock currently sells for $20 per share and a 20 percent stock dividend is declared, how many new shares will be distributed? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) New shares issued

Stock Dividend = % dividend declared * Shares outstanding * par value per share

                             =    20% * 37500

                             = $ 7500

Number of Shares to be distributed = Stock Dividend/ Current market price per share

                                                                 = $ 7500 / $ 20

                                                                  = 375

Answer b-1

If instead Freya declared a 25 percent stock dividend, how many new shares will be distributed? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) New shares issued

Stock Dividend = % dividend declared * Shares outstanding * par value per share

                             =   25% * $ 37500

                             = 9375

Number of Shares to be distributed = Stock Dividend/ Current market price per share

                                                                 = $ 9375 / $ 20

                                                                  = 468 (rounded to previous full decimal)
