PharmGen, a pharmaceutical company, was founded two years ago. Like most pharmaceutical companies, PharmGen did not make any profits in its first two years of operations since the company spent heavily on research & development to create new drugs. However, in order to continue to attract investors, the company would like to issue a 5% stock dividends this year.
PharmGen currently has 15,000 shares of common stock, and no preferrred stock outstanding. The stock, which has a par value of $2.00, was initially issued at $12 per share. Currently, the stock is trading at $20 per share.
Please look at my journals entry.
Retaining Earnings 9000 (Debit)
