A two-for-one stock split will cause adjustments in the common stock account. The number of shares will double and the par value halved. Example:
Common stock (6 million shares, at $5 par value)...........30,000,000

Common stock( 9 million shares???, at $5 par value???).......45,000,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par 15,000,000
Retained earnings 45,000,000
Net worth...........105,000,000
