1. The amount of the stock dividend is $44,100 (1,575 x $28) because it is a small stock dividend, that is, less than 25%.  A small stock dividend is recorded at the market price instead of the par value.

2. The effects of the stock dividend on the financial statements are as follows:

Balance Sheet                          Retained Earnings   Statement of Cash Flows

Assets = Liabilities + Equity        

Assets = $44,100 + ($44,100)          ($44,100)            None

Data and Analysis:

Common stock at $9 par value

Stock dividend shares = 1,575 (22,500 x 7%)

Par Value of stock dividend = $14,175 (1,575 x $9)

Additional Paid-in Capital = $29,925 (1,575 x $19

Market value of the stock per share = $28

Retained Earnings $44,100 Additional Paid-in Capital $29,925 Common Stock $14,175

Stock Dividend $44,100 Stock Dividend Distributable $44,100

Thus, the effects of the issuance of the 7% stock dividend are the creation of a liability of $44,100 and a reduction of the Retained Earnings, which are transferred to the Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital.
