?  Cash?110,000
b)Retained earnings84,000?
?  Common stock  35,000
?  Paid-in capital in excess of par value-common  49,000
c)Dividends57,750?

d) $1.50 

a) 
Increase in Treasury stock and decrease in Cash = 5,000 shares × Cost of $22 per share = $110,000
b) 
Shares outstanding on October 1 = 40,000 Shares outstanding on January 1 ? 5,000 Shares of treasury stock purchased on June 1 = 35,000
Shares distributed in stock dividend on October 1 = 35,000 Shares outstanding on October 1 × Stock dividend of 10% = 3,500
Decrease in retained earnings = 3,500 Shares distributed as stock dividend × Market value of $24 per share = $84,000
Increase in Common Stock account = Stock dividend of 3,500 shares × Par value of $10 per share = $35,000
Increase in Paid-in capital in excess of par ? Common = $84,000 ? $35,000 = $49,000
d) 
Shares outstanding on December 15 = 35,000 Shares outstanding on October 1 + 3,500 Shares issued in stock dividend on October 1 = 38,500 shares
Cash dividend per share on December 15 = Dividend of $57,750 dividend ÷ 38,500 Shares outstanding on December 15 = $1.50
