Answer:

None of the above(i.e., all of the above statements are 'True' After the 2 for 1 stock split).

Step-by-step explanation:

Stock split is a way of increasing total of shares a company's shareholders have while proportionately reducing the share price per unit.In essence , it is about re-denominating the shares of a company.

A 2-1 stock split means for every one share that shareholders possess previously.they now have 2 in place of 1.

In other words,the shareholders now have 2,000 shares in all(2/1*1000)

The par value now=$1*1/2=$0.50

The market price now=$8*1/2=$4

Without mincing words,the last option is the correct answer.
