I have a question on transaction for common stock

If I have 10,000 shares of $10 par value common stock,Authorized and outstanding.Company wants to call in the $10 par value stock and replace each share with two shares of new $5 par value common stock issue. This transaction will increase

1. the number of shares outstanding
2. the total stockholders equity
3. retained earings
4. stock dividends distributable

I read over all my text and the only one I come up with that would be right is a. the number of shares outstanding
Could anyone tell me if I am doing this right
Thanks

I agree with your choice.

Would you have a websight to recommend to me for consolidation statements. To help me understand it more.. I know you have to combined everything as 1 business,But I seem to get them all confused and messed up.
The different methods that can be used pooling of interestand purchase method are confusing to me..

I'm not finding a great site, but here are a couple to look at.
