The JEM Company has been in operation for over 40 years and has 20,000 shares of $100 par-value common stock authorized, of which 12,000 shares have been issued. THe market value of the stock throughout 2014 until late Dcember, was $107.50 per share. On Sept. 1. 2014, the board of directors declared a 20% (small) stock dividend, distributable in October. The accounts showed the following balances immediately prior to the declaration of the dividend:

Common Stock = $1,200,000

Additional contributed capital = $90,000

Retained Earnings (includes net income earned through August 31) = $700,000

When distributed in October, the stock dividend included fractional share warramts for 600 shares. On December 15, 90% of the warrants were exercised; the remaining warrants were not exercised until 2015.
