Expert Solution

a) The number of shares outstanding after the split is calculated as follows:

	Shares
Number of common stock outstanding	33,300
Stock split ratio	3 for 1

The number of shares outstanding after the split = Number of common stock outstanding * Stock split ratio

= 33,300 Shares * 3/1

= 99,900 Shares

The number of shares outstanding after the split is 99,900 Shares

b) The approximate market price per share after the split is calculated as follows:

The approximate market price per share after the split = $78 * 1/3

= $26 Per Share

The approximate market price per share after the split is $26 Per Share

c) Journal entry to record the stock split is as follows:

Note:This journal entry is memorandum entry

Date	Explanation
c)	Memorandum : Stock Split of 3-for-1 number of common shares outstanding increased from 33,300 shares to 99,900 shares so the par value is reduced. Additional shares distributed 66,600 shares (99,900 Shares - 33,300 Shares).

Stock split will change the number of shares and the par value, but it does not affect total value of common stock and stockholder's equity.
