Smith company has 800,000 shares authorized and 250,000 shares issued and outstanding of its $2 par value common stock. the stock is currently selling for $10 per share. if smith company declared and issued a 5% stock dividend, what journal entry would the company make?

Retained Earnings -- $25,000 (Debit)

Common Stock -- $25,000 (Credit)

Paid In Capital -- $210,000 (Credit)

Explanation:

Given

Authorised Shares = $800,000

Issued Shares = $250,000

Stock Selling Price = $10 per share

Outstanding Stock = $2

Stock Dividend = 5%

The journal entries are as follows:

Retained Earnings

Common Stock

Paid In Capital

The journal entries is calculated as follows:

Calculating Retained Earnings

Retained Earnings = (Outstanding Stock/Stock Selling Price) * Issued Shares

Retained Earnings = ($2/$20) * $250,000

Retained Earnings = (1/10) * $250,000

Retained Earnings = $25,000

Common Stock is also calculated the same way:

Calculating Common Stock

Common Stock = (Outstanding Stock/Stock Selling Price) * Issued Shares

Common Stock = ($2/$20) * $250,000

Common Stock = (1/10) * $250,000

Common Stock = $25,000

Lastly, Paid In Capital is calculated as follows:

Paid In Capital = Issued Shares - Stock Dividend * Authorised Shares

Paid In Capital = $250,000 - 5% * $800,000

Paid In Capital = $250,000 - $40,000

Paid In Capital = $210,000

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
