Explanation:

22,000 x 10% = 2,200 new shares

market price:

2,200 X $42 = 92,400

book value

2,200 x $13 =  28,600

additional paid-in

                       63,800

100% sotkc dividends:

22,000 x 100% = 22,000 new shares

market price:

22,000 X $42 = 924,000

book value

22,000 x $13 =  286,000

additional paid-in

                          638,000

the stock split will not change the accounting as the total value fo the equity remains the same.
