Hannah Co. has 10,000 shares of $10 par common stock outstanding. A 10% stock dividend is declared when the market price is $50 per share. Following the stock dividend, a cash dividend of $4 per share is declared and paid to Hannah Cos' shareholders. The debit to Retained Earnings will be:

Hannah Co.

The debit to Retained Earnings will be:

$44,000

Explanation:

Common Stock outstanding = 10,000 shares of $10 par

With a 10% stock dividend, the outstanding shares increase to 11,000 (10,000 x 1.1).

The cash dividend per share = $4

Total cash dividend equals $44,000 ($4 x 11,000).

So the Retained Earnings will be debited to the sum of $44,000 following the cash dividend to reduce the Retained Earnings account by $44,000.
