P15.10 (LO 3) Writing (Stock Dividends and Stock Split) Oregon Inc. $10 par common stock is
selling for $110 per share. Four million shares are currently issued and outstanding. The board of direc-
tors wishes to stimulate interest in Oregon common stock before a forthcoming stock issue but does not
wish to distribute capital at this time. The board also believes that too many adjustments to the stockhold-
ers' equity section, especially retained earnings, might discourage potential investors.
The board has considered three options for stimulating interest in the stock:
1. A 20% stock dividend.
2. A 100% stock dividend.
3. A 2-for-1 stock split.
Instructions
Acting as financial advisor to the board, you have been asked to report briefly on each option and, consid-
ering the board's wishes, make a recommendation. Discuss the effects of each of the foregoing options.
