Explanation:

The company distributed 500,000 x 10% = 550,000 stocks resulting from the  on the first stock dividend distribution.

Then it distributed 550,000 x $1 = $550,000 on the following cash dividend.

When the company declared a stock split, it resulted in 550,000 x 2 = 1,100,000 stocks outstanding.

Then it distributed 1,100,000 x $0.60 = $660,000 on the following cash dividend.

100 stocks 4 years ago:

100 x 1.1 (10% stock dividend) = 110 stocks

110 x 2 = 220 (stock split)
