    D All of these answers are correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that the corporation had 1,000,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. On March 31, the company declared a 20% stock dividend. Market value of the stock was $18/share. As a result of this event

    Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par = 1000000*20% * (18-10) = 1600000

    Stock dividend = 1000000*20%*18 = 3600000

    Edison's total stockholders' equity was unaffected because increase in Stock dividend leads to decrease in retained earnings by the same amount.

    Answer is option D All of these answers are correct.
