Answer: He should decline production of the machine.
Explanation:
Analyzing the problem, we can determine if he should proceed or not by calculating the Net present value. That is present value of the machine in terms of perpetuity as it will be used forever and the cost incurred in its production.
Given the following ;
To manufacture $200 = 1 year, meaning
Amount or yearly payment = $200
Cost of machine = $2,000
Interest rate(r) = 11.5% = 0.115
Recall;
Present the value if perpetuity ;
(Payment per period ÷ rate)
= $200 ÷ 0.115 = $1739.13
Net present value = $1,739.13 - $2000 = - 260.87
Given the negative value of NPV, the cost outweighs the benefit, hence, he should decline.

Answer:
Total Stockholders' equity was affected.
Explanation:
Stock dividend refers to distributing shares free of cost among the existing shareholders. Such a dividend does not result in resources flowing out of the entity but merely reassign amounts from retained earnings to other equity accounts. Thus, such a dividend does not affect the total equity of the stockholders. This can be seen through the following entry,
Retained Earnings $1,800,000 Dr
Common Stock, at par $1,200,000 Cr
Paid in Capital in excess
of par, Common Stock $600,000 Cr
The above transaction shows that we just redistributed the reserves by reducing retained earning by the value of stock dividend 1800000 [( 800000*0.15) * $15] and adding it to the Common Stock 1200000 [(800000*0.15) * 10] and to paid in capital in excess of par 600000 [(800000*0.15) * 5].
