Answer to Question 1

Companies might do this if they believe that the high price of their stock is discouraging many investors from buying. The stock split does not have any impact on shareholder wealth because even though the price has fallen in half the number of shares each stockholder has in their possession has doubled. This leaves the net worth of their holdings in the company the same.

Answer to Question 2

His average after the 10th exam will remain unchanged at 70 . The reason is simple. Even though he scored lower than his previous exam score his score was equal to his average. This would have no impact on the average whatsoever.
