No Journal entry required for stock split .It requires only book adjustment where number of shares is increased to 500000*2/1 = 1000000 shares and thereby reducing par value to 10*1/2 =$ 5per share

Account title	Debit	credit
Stock dividend /Retained earning	5000000
Common stock (500000*10)		5000000

Number of shares issued as stock dividend= 500000*100% = 500000

In case of large stock dividend (more than 25% ),Amount of stock dividend is equals to par value of shares issued.

		Market price per share
Stock Split	Market value per share is reduced by stock split	80 *1/2 =$ 40 per share
Stock dividend	Market capitalization /number of shares outstanding after stock dividend	40000000/1000000 =$ 40 per share

Working"

Market capitalization before stock dividend= 500000*80= 40000000

Number of shares outstanding after stock dividend = 500000+500000= 1000000
