Campbell Company wants to increase the number of shares of its common stock outstanding and is considering a stock dividend versus a stock split. The Stockholders’ Equity section of the firm’s most recent balance sheet appeared as follows:
If a stock dividend is chosen, the firm wants to declare a 100% stock dividend. Because the stock dividend qualifies as a ‘‘large stock dividend,’’ it must be recorded at par value. If a stock split is chosen, Campbell will declare a 2-for-1 split.

1. Compare the effects of the stock dividends and stock splits on the accounting equation.
