Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Nos of shares remaining before stock dividend received = 1200000 - 200000 = 1000000

Share received as stock dividend = 1000000*10% = 100000 shares

Cost of acquistion of remaining shares = 1000000*$66 = $66,000,000

Total nos of shares after stock dividend = 1000000 + 100000 = 1100000

Cost per share held = $66,000,000 / 1100000 = $60 per share
