Solution

The balance in the Common Stock account after the issuance would be $6,000,000.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

  1. Before the stock split, Pettygrove Company had 600,000 shares outstanding, each with a par value of 10.So,thetotalvalueofthecommonstockaccountwas600,000shares10. So, the total value of the common stock account was 600,000 shares * 10/share = $6,000,000.

  2. A 2-for-1 stock split means that for each share of stock an investor owns, they receive an additional share. So, the number of shares doubles. However, this does not change the total value of the common stock account. The par value of each share is halved to keep the total value the same.

  3. After the stock split, Pettygrove Company has 1,200,000 shares outstanding, each with a new par value of 5(because5 (because 10 original par value / 2 = 5newparvalue).Thetotalvalueofthecommonstockaccountisstill1,200,000shares5 new par value). The total value of the common stock account is still 1,200,000 shares * 5/share = $6,000,000.

So, the balance in the Common Stock account after the issuance is $6,000,000.
