Company announces a 2-for-1 stock split.

After Split:

  1. Number of Shares After Split:

New Number of Shares=Old Number of Shares × Split Ratio

New Number of Shares=100×2=200

  • New Face Value per Share:

New Face Value per Share=Old Face Value per Share/Split Ratio

New Face Value per Share=₹10/2 ​= ₹5

  • New Market Price per Share:

New Market Price per Share=Old Market Price per Share/ Split Ratio

New Market Price per Share=₹200/2=₹100
