10% stock dividend: 500,000 shares x 1.10 = 550,000 shares
2:1 stock split: 550,000 x 2 = 1,100,000 shares
Note: The cash dividends do not affect the number of outstanding shares.
$1 cash dividend: 550,000 shares x $1 = $550,000
Your portfolio after the four transactions is $8,800 compared to $6,500 before the
four transactions. In addition, you would have received cash dividends, as follows:
(100 shares x 1.10 x $1) + (110 shares x 2 x $0.60) = $110 + $132 = $242
Total cash paid: $550,000 + $660,000 = $1,210,000
