Zorluk: OrtaSettlement Dates, Trade Confirmations, and Corporate Actions

An investor owns 500500 shares of Apex Innovations common stock currently trading at $90.00\$90.00 per share. The company executes a 33-for-22 forward stock split. What is the adjusted price per share of Apex Innovations stock immediately following the split?

Cevap: 60 $

Cevap

The adjusted price per share immediately following the 3-for-2 stock split is $60.00.
In a forward stock split corporate action, the investor's aggregate position value remains unchanged before and after the event. For a 3-for-2 split, the split ratio multiplier is 1.5 (3/23 / 2). Dividing the pre-split price of $90.00\$90.00 by 1.5 yields an adjusted price per share of $60.00\$60.00. Correspondingly, the share count increases from 500 shares to 750 shares (500×1.5=750500 \times 1.5 = 750), maintaining total investor equity value of $45,000\$45,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the split multiplier factor ratio.
The split factor for a 3-for-2 split is 3/2=1.53 / 2 = 1.5.
Stock splits adjust share price and share quantity proportionally based on the split ratio while preserving the total equity value of the holding.
2
Calculate the post-split position size.
500 shares ×\times 1.5 = 750 shares.
In a forward split, the investor receives additional shares equal to the split factor ratio.
3
Calculate the adjusted post-split price per share.
$90.00/1.5=$60.00\$90.00 / 1.5 = \$60.00.
The market price per share must decrease proportionally so that the overall investment value remains unchanged at $45,000\$45,000 (750 shares×$60.00=$45,000750 \text{ shares} \times \$60.00 = \$45,000).
