The journal entry is as follows:

Retained earnings A/c Dr. $18 million

        To common stock                        $0.30 million

        To capital paid in excess A/c      $17.70 million

(To record the stock dividend issued at 1%)

Working notes:

Shares issued = 1% of 30 million

                        = 0.30 million

Retained earnings:

= 0.30 million × $60 per share

= $18 million

Common stock:

= 0.30 million × $1 par value

= $0.30 million

Capital paid in excess:

= Retained earnings - Common stock

= $18 million - $0.30 million

= $17.7 million

answer; i do believe that the correct answer is (d) referrals from

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
