    You will have 200 shares of stock, and the stock will trade at or near $60 a share.

    Explanation:

    When a company declares a 2-for-1 stock split, its shares' value is cut by half, while the number of stocks of each share holder doubles.

    If, before the split, the stock had a value of $120 per share, after the stock split it will sell for close to $60 a share.

    If you previously had a position of 100 shares of Troll Brothers' stock, after the 2-for-1 split you will have 200 shares.

    Therefore, you will have 200 shares of stock, and the stock will trade at or near $60 a share.
