3. Calculate the dividend paid per share of common stock? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

4. Under what section should treasury stock be reported on the balance sheet? Also at what amount should it be shown?

5. Assume that the board of directors voted a 100 percent stock split (the number of shares will double). After the stock split, calculate the par value per share and the number of outstanding shares?

6. Assuming the stock split mentioned above, prepare any journal entry that should be made? (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

Prepare any journal entry that should be made. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
