    retained earnings decrease by 1,242,500 as a result of the dividends policy through the year.

    Explanation:

    Stock dividends:

    calcualtion for share issued

    350,000 shares x 10% = 35,000 shares

    value of the diviends: issued shares x market value

    35,000 shares x $30 = 1,050,000 dividends

    cash dividends (we have to also account for the new shares)

    350,000 + 35,000 = 385,000 shares receive cash dividends

    385,000 shares x $0.50 per share = 192,500 dividends

    total dividends 1,242,500
