Answer: Individual interviews
Explanation: An individual interview can be seen as an experimental method of acquiring information from an original source to gather non-numerical information with a small number of respondents to discuss in detail their viewpoints on a specific idea, program or circumstance.
Here, the Marine Midland Bank sent out their researchers to discuss with the head of each household in the community the reason for not checking accounts and credit cards with the bank. It can be carried out in 15-60 minutes.
No. of shares outstanding before stock dividend = 634000
Price per share = $46
Stock dividend issued (shares issued) = 634000 x 13%
= 82,420
Value of stocks issued as stock dividend = 82420 x $46 = $3,791,320
No. of shares outstanding after stock dividend = 634,000 +82,420
=716420
Cash dividend = 716420 x 0.60
= 429,852
Total reduction in retained earnings = total value of dividend issued
= $3,791,320 + $429,852
= $4,221,172
