    a. is reduced to $5 per share

    Explanation:

    Data given in the question

    Market value per share = $80

    Number of shares = 100,000

    Par value = $10

    So, after the split, the par value of the stock is

    = Par value of the stock : stock split ratio

    = $10 : 2

    = $5 per share

    By dividing the par value of the stock by the stock split ratio we can get the par value of the stock
