stock dividends and splits

I answered number 1 answers but I can't figure out the rest. 1-a is 330,000 1b. 680,000, and 1-c is 250,000

2-a is 330,000 but I don't know the rest. Can someone show me how what to do to be able to answer these questions, please.


On June 30, 2005, Scizzory Corporation’s common stock is priced at $31 per share before any stock
dividend or split, and the stockholders’ equity section of its balance sheet appears as follows:

Common stock—$10 par value, 60,000 shares
authorized, 25,000 shares issued and outstanding . . . . . . . . . . . . $250,000
Contributed capital in excess of par value, common stock . . . . . . . 100,000
Total contributed capital . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 350,000
Retained earnings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 330,000
Total stockholders’ equity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $680,000
1. Assume that the company declares and immediately distributes a 100% stock dividend. This event
is recorded by capitalizing retained earnings equal to the stock’s par value. Answer these questions
about stockholders’ equity as it exists after issuing the new shares:
a. What is the retained earnings balance?
b. What is the amount of total stockholders’ equity?
c. How many shares are outstanding?
2. Assume that the company implements a 2-for-1 stock split instead of the stock dividend in part 1.
Answer these questions about stockholders’ equity as it exists after issuing the new shares:
a. What is the retained earnings balance?
b. What is the amount of total stockholders’ equity?
c. How many shares are outstanding?
3. Explain the difference, if any, to a stockholder from receiving new shares distributed under a large
stock dividend versus a stock split.
