Answer: 10%

Explanation:

Given that :

Worth of investment = $1,000,000

Worth after 1 year = $1,300,000

Worth after 2 years = $1,200,000

From the above, investment recorded $300,000 increase after one year and $100,000 Depreciation at the end of the second year.

Therefore, Net increase:

$300,000 - $100,000 = $200,000 (after 2 years)

Therefore, average yearly/annual increase = $200,000 / 2 = $100,000

Therefore, the annual return on the investment is :

(Annual increase / investment worth) × 100%

(100,000 : 1,000,000) × 100%

0.1 × 100% = 10%

= 10%

mash [69]

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].
