After the stock split, the company will have 90,000 shares, each with an approximate market value of $3. The par amount of the shares becomes $1 per share. No journal entry is recorded. After a company effects a 3-for-1 stock split on its 30,000 shares, with a per share market price of $9, it then has 90,000 shares (or 30,000 × 3), each with an approximate market value of $3 (or $9 × 1/3). The prescribed accounting treatment for a stock split is to make no journal entry. Since the same common stock account balance (total par) represents three times as many shares in a 3-for-1 stock split, the par per share will be reduced from $3 per share to $1 per share.

Common stock1,100 Paid-in capital - excess of par2,310 Retained earnings5,500 Cash8,910 The shares were originally issued at $3.10 per share, calculated as ($80,100 + $168,210) ÷ 80,100 shares, which is less than the repurchase price of $8.10 per share. The entry includes the following: A credit to Cash for the amount paid of $8,910 (calculated as $8.10 per share times 1,100 shares) A debit to Common stock for the par amount of those shares of $1,100 (calculated as $1 par × 1,100 shares) A debit to Paid-in capital—excess of par for $2,310, [calculated as (original issue price of $3.10 − $1.00 par) × 1,100 shares] A debit to Retained earnings for the difference of $5,500 to balance the entry (see note below) Note: Ordinarily, since the repurchase price is greater than the original issue price, this entry would include a debit to Paid-in capital—share repurchase account (limited in amount to the existing credit balance in that account). However, the company's shareholders' equity does not include this account. As such, its balance is already zero, so the entire debit to balance the entry is recorded to the Retained earnings account, similar to dividends being paid to shareholders.
