Respuesta :

Answer:

a. is reduced to $5 per share

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Market value per share = $80

Number of shares = 100,000

Par value = $10

So, after the split, the par value of the stock is

= Par value of the stock ÷ stock split ratio

= $10 ÷ 2

= $5 per share

By dividing the par value of the stock by the stock split ratio we can get the par value of the stock
