Expert Solution
Check Mark
Working:

No. of shares issued under stock dividend = No. of shares outstanding x stock dividend rate

= 33500 x 6%

= 2010 shares

No. of shares after stock dividend  = No. of shares outstanding + No. of shares issued under stock dividend

= 33500 + 2010 = 35510 shares

Decrease in retained earnings = No. of shares issued under stock dividend  x market price per share

= 2010 shares x $16 per share

= $32,160
