Explanation of Solution
Stock Splits: It is a method of increasing the total number of outstanding shares thereby, reducing the market price of each share, however, keeping the corporation’s total market value constant.
2-for1 stock split increases increase the number of shares by double and decrease the stock price per share by half.
Stock split does not affect total assets, total liabilities, or total stockholders’ equity. Hence, no journal entry is required to be passed.
