Compute the capital stock value.

Capital stock value = {Number of shares issued × Par value per share}= 150,000 shares × $10= $1,500,000

Compute the amount of stock dividends to be distributed.

Step 1: Compute the number of shares to be distributed as stock dividends.

Stock dividend shares = {Number of shares outstanding ×Stock dividend percentage}(150,000 shares –10,000 shares)× 10%=140,000 shares × 10%= 14,000 shares (1)

Step 2: Compute the amount of stock dividends to be distributed (Refer to Equation (1) for stock dividend shares value).

Stock dividends to be distributed value} = Stock dividend shares × Par value of stock= 14,000 shares × $10= $140,000

Compute additional paid-in capital from issuance of stock.

Additional paid-in capital from issuance of stock} = {Number of shares issued×(Market value – Par value)}= 150,000 shares ×($30 – $10)= $3,000,000

Compute additional paid-in capital from stock dividends (Refer to Equation (1) for stock dividend shares).

Additional paid-in capital from stock dividend} = Stock dividend shares × (Market value – Par value)= 14,000 shares ×($35 – $10)= $350,000

Stock dividend = Stock dividend shares × Market value per share= 14,000 shares × $35= $490,000 (2)

Retained earnings, January 1, 2017$0
Add: Net income940,000
940,000
Less: Stock dividends(490,000)
Retained earnings, December 31, 2017$450,000

Compute the capital stock value (Refer to Equation (3) for value of number of shares issued and outstanding).

Capital stock value = {Number of shares issued and outstanding× Par value per share}= 328,000 shares × $5= $1,640,000

Compute additional paid-in capital value from treasury stock.

Additional paid-in capital from treasury stock} = {Number of treasury shares reissued × (Selling price–Purchase price)}= 10,000 shares × ($39–$34)= 10,000 shares × $5= $50,000
