Expert Solution
Step 1

For determining the figures of stockholder's equity and its elements, we first have to journalize the entry and ascertain the figures for stock dividend and its distribution :

Journal Entry : 

Stock Dividends a/c Dr (2,200,000 * 5% = 110,000 shares, 110,000 * $18 = $1,980,000)  $1,980,000

      To Stock Dividend Distributable (110,000 shares * $15) $1,650,000

      To Paid In Excess-Common stock a/c ($3 * $110,000) $330,000

 

Stock Dividend Distributable (110,000 shares * $15) $1,650,000

        To Common stock $1,650,000
