    Answer: Dividend Income = $24000

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Shares purchased = 10000

    Received a stock dividend of 2,000 shares

    Market value per share = $35

    Cash dividend of $2 per share

    It should be duly noted that acknowledgement of a stock dividend is not revenue. It increases the number of shares held and folds the cost ground per share.

    ∴ Dividend Income = No. of shares * dividend per share

    Dividend Income = 12000 * $2

    Dividend Income = $24000
