Answer 1

Answer:

$11.93

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the price per share of equity

Using this formula

Price per share of equity = Debt under Plan II / (Number of shares under Plan I - Number of shares under Plan II)

Let plug in the formula

Price per share of equity= $1,820,000 / (405,000 - 252,397)

Price per share = $1,820,000 / 152,603

Price per share = $11.93

Therefore the price per share of equity is $11.93
