If Mann Equipment Company declared a 2-for-1 stock split on the common stock, how many shares will be outstanding after the split? What amount will be transferred from the retained earnings account because of the stock split? Theoretically, what will be the market price of the common stock immediately after the stock split?
Solution:
Par value of preferred stock = $570,000 / 57000 = $10 per share
Dividend per share on preferred stock = $10 * 4% = $0.40 per share
Nos of common stock outstanding = Issue shares - Shares in treasury stock = 57000 - 6000 = 51000 shares
Average issue price of common shares = (Par value of common stock + Paid in capital in excess of par common stock) / Nos of shares issued
= ($1,425,000 + $114,000) / 57000 = $27 per share
Outstanding shares after stock split = 51000*2 = 102000 shares
Nothing will be transferred from retained earnings account because of stock split as no journal entry is required for stock split only par value per share is reduced.
Theortically market price per share after stock split = Market price before stock split / 2
= $44/2 = $22 per share
