A 2-for-1 stock split NO ENTRY

Explanation:

Stock dividends of 5%

Shares outstanding 312,000 x 5% x $37 market price

15,600 new shares x $ 37 per share = $ 577,200

First we declare the dividend payable, then we write-off the payable and increase equity.

Common stock for the face value and additional paid-in for the difference:

15,600 x 10 = 156,000

577,200 - 156,000 = 421,600

Stock Dividends of 100%

312,000 x 100% x 37 = 11,544,000

same entries as before but, with difference number

face value 312,000 x 10 = 3,120,000

additional paid-in 8,424,000

A 2-for-1 stock split

No entry is required as the company will have double shares but with halft the value each. It will not effect the total market capitalization.
