Before stock split:
No. of shares issued = 60,000
Par value = $2
After, 2-for1 stock split:
No. of shares issued =
No. of shares issued = 120,000
Par value =
Par value = $1
No journal entry is recorded on stock. Though,the common stock capital remains same, only its structure i.e. no. of shares outstanding and par value of shares change.
Thus, the cash received from issues of shares and immediate stock split will be same as the cash received from issues of shares.

Total Par value of stock dividend =

Total Market value of stock dividend =
Total Market value of stock dividend =
Total Market value of stock dividend = $159,000
Additional Paid in capital = Total Market value of stock dividend - Total Par value
Additional Paid in capital = $159,000 - $6,000
Additional Paid in capital = $153,000

The first effect of both dividends (cash and stock) is on Retained Earnings of the company. If stock dividend is paid then, the second effect is on common stock and additional paid in capital account as new shares are issued as dividends which further increase the balance of these accounts.
Thus, stock dividend don’t involve any cash transaction and the amount received at the time of inception remains $467,210 (i.e. the amount received on issues of shares).
