Answer:

option B is correct

market price per share be after the dividend is $7.27

Explanation:

Given data

share = 10000

stock value = $1.00 per share

market value = $8 per share

capital in excess = $32,500

common stock account = $10,000

retained earnings account = $42,700

stock dividend = 10%

to find out

market price

solution

we will find here market price / share that is given here formula

Market price is = ( share × market value) ÷ ( share × 1.10)

put here all these value we get

Market price = ( 10000  × 8 ) ÷ (10000 × 1.10)

market price = 80000 ÷ 11,000

so market price = 7.27

hence option B is correct

market price per share be after the dividend is $7.27
