    Question on Common stock
    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
