Answer:
B. 100 shares of ABC preferred stock
Explanation:
Shares are ownership stakes of a company that are given out to individuals who contribute to capital base of a company.
Preference shares are those whose owners recieve preference in payment of dividends, a fixed dividend is paid to them.
Ordinary shares recieve less preference when dividend is paid, usually coming last in divedend payment.
In this scenario ABC has decided to pay 10% stock dividend. This will be paid to ordinary share holders.
So the person with 100 preference shares will have 100 preference shares
10% of par value of $100 is 0.1 * 100= $10
Number of shares are 100 so the value is now 100 * $10 = $1,000
Since the conversion rate of preference to ordinary shares is 10:1
Number of preference shares= 1,000 ÷ 10= 100 preference shares
