A Dividend would result in the company's asset decreasing. Let us say a company has $2,000,000,000 total assets and 1,000,000 shares in the stock market.
If the company offers a $5 dividend per share then it means that they need to pay out $5,000,000 as dividends which means their net assets would be $1,995,000,000/- after the dividend payout.

Does a stock dividend increase total assets?
Typically, the answer is no. Most stocks will drop slightly after the dividend is paid, and this will make your total asset pool worth the same amount after the dividend is paid. That is not to say that it is bad for a company to pay dividends. In fact, dividends tend to make the price of a stock take on some of the characteristics of a bond. Companies that consistently pay out a good dividend can have more stable stock prices as the economy slows and interest rates drop.
What is ex dividend rate?
The ex-dividend date (typically 2 trading days before the record date for U.S. securities) is the day on which all shares bought and sold no longer come attached with the right to be paid the most recently declared dividend. This is an important date for any company that has many stockholders, including those that trade on exchanges, as it makes reconciliation of who is to be paid the dividend easier. Existing holders of the stock will receive the dividend even if they now sell the stock, whereas anyone who now buys the stock will not receive the dividend. It is relatively common for a stock's price to decrease on the ex-dividend date by an amount roughly equal to the dividend paid. This reflects the decrease in the company's assets resulting from the declaration of the dividend. The company does not take any explicit action to adjust its stock price; in an efficient market, buyers and sellers will automatically price this in.
How can one calculate whether a company is undervalued or Overvalued in the stock market?
This can be calculated through Q ratio and dividend discount model. The divident discount model is not appropriate for the companies who are issuing any dividend. So the Q ratio is Value of the stock= total market value of the stock/ total value of assets If the value is from 0 to 1 then the stock is undervalued but if the value is above 1 then the stock is overvalued.

How does the issuing of capital stock effect net income?
Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but issuing capital stock increases total assets. If one considers total assets when calculating net income, any capital stock or additional paid in capital must be deducted from total assets in order to find net income. Issuance of stock does not contribute to income from operations; it is a financing activity that contributes to total equity. Also, if there are dividend payments for the year, these outflows must be added to assets before arriving at net income.
What is the journal entry for stock dividend received?
Stock dividends - These are dividends paid in the form of additional stock of the issuing company to shareholders of record in proportion to their current holdings. A stock dividend does not increase the wealth of the recipient nor does it reduce the net assets of the firm. It is a permanent capitalization of retained earnings to contributed capital. As there is no change in the amount of the stock that;s why stock dividend does not require any entry to be recorded rather it is shown as note.

Does stock that pays special dividend always go down by the amount of the dividend?
The ex-dividend date is the day after which all shares bought and sold no longer come attached with the right to be paid the most recently declared dividend. This is an important date for any company that has many stockholders, including those that trade on exchanges, as it makes reconciliation of who is to be paid the dividend easier. Prior to this date, the stock is said to be cum dividend ('with dividend'): existing holders of the stock and anyone who buys it will receive the dividend, whereas any holders selling the stock lose their right to the dividend. On and after this date the stock becomes ex dividend: existing holders of the stock will receive the dividend even if they now sell the stock, whereas anyone who now buys the stock now will not receive the dividend. It is relatively common for a stock's price to decrease on the ex-dividend date by an amount roughly equal to the dividend paid. This reflects the decrease in the company's assets resulting from the declaration of the dividend. However it must be emphasised that there is no direct link between the price and the dividend, this price movement is simply a result of market action. To sum up the date a dividend is paid is not the date a stock usually goes down but rather the date that the stock purchase no longer includes the dividend. This in no way is a guarentee a stock could be up considerably that day based on market conditions and a number of other things even with the downward pressure of no longer being able to receive that dividend.
