Answer:
- Gain = $271,310
- Net reduction in retained earnings = $105,690
Explanation:
Gain = (Ivanhoe market price - Purchase price) * Number of shares issued as property dividend
Purchase price = 130,000 / 16,000
= $8.13
Number of shares issued as property dividend = 130,000 shares of Concord / 10
= 13,000 Ivanhoe shares
Gain = (29 - 8.13) * 13,000
= $271,310
Net reduction in retained earnings:
= Dividends payable - Gain
= (13,000 * 29) - 271,310
= $105,690
