What was the effect on Dodd's retained earnings as a result of the above transaction?
a. $180,000 decrease.
b. $360,000 decrease.
c. $600,000 decrease.
d. $300,000 decrease.

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The effect on Dodd's retained earnings as a result of the above transaction will be calculated as:

Common stock = 115000

Percent of stock dividend = 10%

Stock dividend = 10% × 115000 = 11500

Price per share = $30

Stock dividend = $30 × 11500 = $345000

Therefore, there'll be a $345000 decrease on Dodd's retained earnings. The options given are incorrect.

Assuming, the common stock was 120,000, then the answer will have been (120,000 × $3) = $360,000 decrease.
