  • 1.  Stock Dividend

    C is the correct answer here because the other choices are 100% incorrect. But I think C has some flaws. There is never a payment for stock dividends.

    Any thoughts?

    A is incorrect because the transaction is based on market value and NOT par value

    B is incorrect because 30% is considered a large stock dividend (greater than 25%) and this would be represented by a transfer from R/E to PIC based on par value.

    D is incorrect for obvious reasons.

    C is correct because the dividend is paid from R/E will result in a reduction to R/E based on the FMV of the stock.

    Thanks for the comment, Michael. 

    Here is what Gleim had to say about the question:

    Please note that the words payment and distribution are synonomous in this context. This question comes from a prior CMA exam. We are reluctant to change the wording of old exam questions because we believe that they are a good representation of the type of wording you may encounter when you sit for the exam.

    Thanks,
    Troy
