Explanation / Answer

Solution 2:

Total equity = no. of shares x price

                         = 9000 x 25

                           = 225000

After stock dividend total equity will not change but no. of shares will change.

No. of shares = current stocks + stock dividend shares

                          = 9000 + 9000 x 10%

                         = 9900

Price per share = 225000/9900

                                = 22.73
