Answer:
1. Equity reduces to $372,300
2. 11,517 shares
3. $32.33
Explanation:
1. Effect on Equity
The company will use $15,600 cash to buy the equivalent amount of shares.
Cash Balance will reduce by;
= 52,900 - 15,600
= $37,300
Equity will reduce by the amount of stock repurchased;
= 387,900 - 15,600
= $372,300
2. Shares Outstanding
Current Stock Price =
= 387,900/12,000
= $32.33
Number of shares repurchased = 15,600/32.33
= 483 shares
New Shares Outstanding = 12,000 shares - 483 shares
= 11,517 shares
3. Price per share after repurchase
=
= 372,300 / 11,517
= $32.33
4. Dividends declared reduces the equity value.
= 32.33 - 1.30
= $31.03
The share repurchase is the same as the cash dividend because the stock price after the repurchase is the same as the stock price if dividends are declared less the cash dividends.
