Dividends and Splits
Once the company is publicly held we must deal with dividends and splits.
A
dividend
is a distribution of earnings to the owners of the company.
A
split
is a change in the number of shares in the company without changing the shareholders equity.
As the company grows we must deal with both dividends and splits.
