    Stock-split will lead to increase in number of Candela's shares without increase in market value or capitalization

    Explanation:

    Stock split will increase Candela's shares from 200000 @$2 nominal value to 400,000 @$1. While the selling price will now reduce from $5 to $2.5. Such that the market capitalization or value of the company is still the same because 2 new shares equal exactly 1 old share.
