The company is planning to conduct stock splits in the ratio of 4 for 1 as described in the animation. 4 for 1 Stock split announcement celificate of or Excale of Store $3 $3 exicale or cocale of Stacy $3 $3 If Tolbotics Inc. declares a 4-for-1 stock split, the price of the company's stock after the split, assuming that the total value of the firm's stock remains the same after the split? Hackworth Hardware Company is one of Tolbotics's leading competitors. Hackworth Hardware Company's market intelligence research team shares Tolbotics's plans of announcing a stock split, influencing the distribution policy makers. Consequently, executives at Hackworth decide to offer stock dividends to its shareholders. A stock dividend is another way of keeping the stock price from going too high. Hackworth currently has 1,900,000 shares of common stock outstanding. If the firm pays a 5% stock dividend, how many shares will the firm issue to its existing shareholders?
