    No Journal Entry is required

    After split per value of share = $5 per share

    Explanation:

    No Journal Entry is required as stock split is not in the the form of stock divined and the number of common stock will change, not the value.

    The calculation of par per share after the split is shown below:-

    Before the split the total Number of share = 50 million shares

    The ratio after the split = 2 : 1

    Total number for the par value 50 million * 10 = 500 million before and stock split.

    After split the total number of share = 50 million * 2

    = 100 million

    After split per value of share = 10/2

    = $5 per share
