Explanation:

With regards to the above, the entry to record of March 30 would be;

Debit stock dividends $140,400

Credit common stock dividends distributable $108,000

Credit paid in capital in excess of par $32,400

Calculations;

= $600,000 × Stock dividend

= $600,000 × 18%

= $108,000

Stock dividend = 60,000 shares of $13 market value

= $780,000 × Stock dividend
