Detailed Answer
Answer (C) is correct. EPS equals $2.50 ($500,000 NI ÷ 200,000 pre-split shares). Thus, 100 shares had a value of $2,000 (100 shares × $2.50 EPS × 8 P/E ratio) before the split. This value is unchanged by the stock split. Although the stockholder has more shares, the total value of the investment is the same.
