    Check the following answer.

    Explanation:

    Stock dividend is a nontaxable income as it is a pro-rata distribution of additional shares to the existing shareholders of the company. Mr. Raoul's tax basis on 300 shares existing shares was 18.000 (60 per share * 300 shares). After receiving 150 (300/2) new stock on pro rata allotment, his tax basis on 450 shares would be $120 per share (18.000/150).
