    1. assuming a small (10%) stock dividend -

    Stock dividend Debit $ 30,000

    Common stock Credit $ 1,000

    Additional paid-in capital Credit $29,000

    2. large (100%) stock dividend -

    Stock dividend Debit $ 10,000

    Common stock Credit $ 10,000

    3. a 2-for-1 stock split -

    No Journal Entry required.

    Explanation:

    Requirement 1

    Explanation: Total paid up capital = 10,000 shares x $30 = $300,000

    Common stock = 10,000 shares x $1 = $10,000

    Additional paid in capital $ (30 - 1) = $29

    10,000 shares x $29 = $290,000

    Therefore, stock dividend = $300,000 x 10% = $30,000

    And for common stock = $10,000 x 10% = $1,000

    Additional paid in capital = $290,000 x 10% = $29,000

    Requirement 2 & 3.

    2. Total paid up capital = 10,000 shares x $30 = $300,000

    of them, common stock = 10,000 shares x $1 = $10,000

    As there is a large stock dividend, the dividend will only from common stock par value. Therefore, the stock dividend will be = $10,000 x 100% = $10,000

    3. As the stock does not provide any cash, instead only giving more stock, it will not require any journal entries. Stock may be changed, but cash dividend remains same.
