    The paid-in-capital will increase by $45,000

    Explanation:

    Shares issued and Outstanding = 60,000

    Par Value = $5

    Market Value = $15

    Since, the 15% stock dividend is issued and the paid-in-capital will increase only by par value and the difference between market value and par value recorded in premium. The calculation will be:

    ⇒ 60,000 * 15% * 5

    ⇒ $45,000

    The paid-in-capital will increase by $45,000.
