    320,000 stocks with $10 par value

    14% stock dividend (small stock dividend ≤ 20%)

    so we will use the market price of the stocks = $17 x 320,000 x 14% = $761,600 total distribution

    320,00 x 14% = 44,800 stocks x $10 par value = $448,000

    the additional paid in capital = $761,600 - $448,000 = $313,600

    December 1, declaration of stock dividend

    Cr Common stock dividends distributable 448,000
