SHARE DIVIDENDS A stock dividend is the distribution of additional shares of stock to current shareholders of the corporation. Because each shareholder receives the same percentage increase in shares, shareholders' proportional interest in (percentage ownership of) the firm remains unchanged. Craft declares and distributes a 10% ordinary share dividend (10 million shares) when the market value of the $1 par ordinary shares is $12 per share: ($ in millions) Retained earnings (10 million shares at $12 per share) 120 Ordinary shares (10 million shares at $1 par per share) 10 Share premium (remainder) 110 For a "small" stock dividend (less than 25%), the fair market value of the additional shares distributed is transferred from retained earnings to share capital.
STOCK SPLITS A stock distribution of 25% or higher is referred to as a stock split. A frequent reason for issuing a stock split is to reduce the market price per share (by half in a 2 for 1 split, for example). No journal entry, unless the stock distribution is referred to as a "stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend." Craft declares and distributes a 2 for 1 stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend (100 million shares) when the market value of the $1 par ordinary shares is $12 per share: ($ in millions) Share premium 100 Ordinary shares (100 million shares at $1 par) 100 Some companies choose to debit retained earnings instead.
