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.

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.

What are the effects of a stock split accounted for as a 100 stock dividend on the company's financial statements and shareholder equity?

A stock split accounted for as a 100 stock dividend does not change the total value of the company or the shareholders' equity. It increases the number of shares outstanding and decreases the stock price proportionally. This can make the stock more affordable and increase liquidity, but it does not impact the company's financial position.

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.
