Respuesta :

Answer:

d) None of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Dividends $252,000    ($300,000 × $28 × 3%)

  To  Dividends Distributable A/c  $180,000    ($300,000 × $20 × 3%)

  To Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par A/c    ($300,000 × $8 × 3%)

(Being the stock dividend is recorded)

We simply debited the dividend account and credited the dividend distributable account and paid in capital account so that correct posting can be done
