    Multiple choices are as follows:

    a) $333,000.

    b) $407,000.

    c) $74,000.

    The correct option is A,$333,000

    Explanation:

    The stock dividend is to be valued at the market price at the date of declaration.

    The declaration date is the date the company made known its intention to reward the stockholders with free stocks instead of a cash dividend, using the market price of stock at declaration date, the stock dividend is valued thus:

    Stock dividend=number of stock dividend*market price

    number of stock dividend is 37000 shares

    market price is $9 (market price at declaration date)

    stock dividend=37,000*$9=$333,000
