"icrosoft announced a 2 for 1 stock split. Before the split they had 5.4b shares outstanding and par value was $0.0000125. Before the split the balance in the Common Stock account was: $ After the split shares outstanding are (in billions): After the split par value is: After the split the balance in Common Stock is $"

Balance before Split - $67,500

After Split No. of shares - 10.8 billion

After Split Par Value - $0.00000625

After Split Balance - $67,500

Explanation:

Microsoft had 5.4b shares outstanding and par value was $0.0000125.

Before the split the balance in the Common Stock account was:

We will multiply the no. Of shares outstanding by the par value.

= 5.4 billion * $0.0000125

= $67,500

After the split shares outstanding are (in billions):

The split was a 2 for 1 split meaning the shares doubled. That would mean,

= 5.4b * 2

= 10.8 billion shares outstanding

After the split par value is:

It was a 2 for 1 split. That would mean that prices had to have halved. Calculating therefore,

= $0.0000125/2

= $0.00000625

After the split the balance in Common Stock is

= 10.8 billion shares * $0.00000625

= $67,500

Balance remained the same showing that total equity remains the same. Only no of shares and price changes.

you're crazy if you think that someone is going to write a 500 word report for you.

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
