Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

Number of shares owned = 200 shares

Split ratio = 2 for 1

Number of additional shares = 200 shares

The additional shares would get when the investor received the new certificate which specifies the additional shares plus the old certificate is also with the investor which decreased the par value of each share.

It is a cheaper method as compare to cancel the shares plus issuing them
