Identify the number of shares that will be outstanding after the stock split:

Shares outstanding  after stock split= (Number of shares outstanding )×Stock split(2-for-1)=99,000 shares × 2=198,000 shares

Therefore, 198,000 shares will be outstanding after the stock split.

Calculate the amount that will be transferred from the retained earnings account because of the stock split:

No amount will be transferred from the retained earnings account because of the stock split.

Identify the market price of the common stock immediately after the stock split:

Market price of the common stock after stock split} = Market price of common stockStock split(2-for-1)=$422=$21

Therefore, the market price of the common stock immediately after the stock split is $21.
