    No journal is needed

    Par value is now $1

    Explanation:

    There is journal entry for stock split no new funds were received from stockholders and the fact that the equity stockholders capital remain the same after the stock split.

    It is a mere book redenomination where the number of outstanding shares in issue is increased while the par value is reduced proportionally.

    In essence a stock split of 2 for 1 means one share is added to existing one and the two shares are now priced at the value of one previously

    The par value after stock split=1/2*$2=$1
