As pointed out earlier... a bonus or split does NOT change much in a firm especially a manufacturing firm (banks are different)...
***__*** Bonus - Its like a house... you increase the size of one room (Share Capital) by reducing another (Retained Earnings).
***___**** Splits - If you have a house representing 'Share Capital' then a split creates more (smaller) rooms while leaving the house the same size...
