Answer:

a. Compute the current price of the stock.

P/E ratio = 10

EPS = $5,000,000 / 2,000,000 stocks = $2.50 per stock

price = $2.50 x 10 = $25

b. If the $5 million is used to pay dividends, how much will dividends per share be?

$2.50, same as EPS

c. If the $5 million is used to repurchase shares in the market at a price of $30 per share, how many shares will be acquired?

$5,000,000 / $30 = 166,666.7 ≈ 166,667 stocks

d. What will the new earnings per share be?

outstanding stocks = 2,000,000 - 166,667 = 1,833,333

EPS = $5,000,000 / 1,833,333 = $2.73

e-1. If the P/E ratio remains constant, what will the price of the securities be?

price = $2.73 x 10 = $27.30

e-2. By how much, in terms of dollars, did the repurchase increase the stock price?

$27.30 - $25 = $2.30

f. Has the stockholders' total wealth changed as a result of the stock repurchase as opposed to receiving the cash dividend?

No

Answer:

The answer is: D) is a more convenient location to hold the trial.

Explanation:

A change of venue happens when a case is transferred from a court in one location to a court in a different location. It can be requested if it is convenient for the parties in a lawsuit.

In this case both Eduardo and Delia live in Georgia, so if a trial is held there, they would need to travel and probably hire local lawyers which can be time consuming and expensive.  Eduardo can argue that by holding the case in Georgia benefits both Delia and him.

marysya [2.9K]

(B). 50 cents

Explanation:

<u>Marginal cost</u><u> is the cost incurred by producing or purchasing one more unit of an item.</u>

If Jordan buys two tacos and a medium drink, it will cost him $2 and 50 cents or 250 cents (80 + 80 + 90).

However, if he opts for the value meal of three tacos and a medium drink, that costs $3 (300 cents), then he would be purchasing one additional taco at a marginal cost of 50 cent.

Marginal cost of additional unit of taco = 300 cents - 250 cents = 50 cents.
