Answer to Question 2

a.
Investor's shares = 10,000
Position before split 860,000 = 10,000 shares  86 per share
Price after split 43.00 = 86/2
Your shares after split 20,000 = 10,000  2
Position after split 860,000 = 20,000 shares  43 per share
Net gain 0
b.
Price fall 0.35
Price after split 55.90 = 86.00(1-.35)

Net gain 258,000 = 1,118,000-860,000
