Stock Splits • Increases number of authorized, issued, and outstanding shares of stock • Proportionate reduction in stock’s par value • Decreases market price
Stock Splits • The market price of a share of Quaker Oats has been approximately $25. Assume that the company wants to decrease it to $12.50. This 2-for-1 split means that the company would have twice as many shares outstanding after the split as is had before the split.
Learning Objective 5 Use different stock values in decision making.
Stock Values • Market value • Redemption value • Liquidation value • Book value
Book Value Per Share • Preferred stock = (Redemption value + Dividendsin arrears) ÷ Number of shares of preferred outstanding • Common stock = (Total stockholders’ equity – Preferred equity) ÷ Number of shares of common stock outstanding
