    No. of shares outstanding before stock dividend = 634000

    Price per share = $46

    Stock dividend issued (shares issued) = 634000 x 13%

    = 82,420

    Value of stocks issued as stock dividend = 82420 x $46 = $3,791,320

    No. of shares outstanding after stock dividend = 634,000 + 82,420

    =716420

    Cash dividend = 716420 x 0.60

    = 429,852

    Total reduction in retained earnings = total value of dividend issued

    = $3,791,320 + $429,852

    = $4,221,172
