Answer:
Digital Fruit
The expected market price of the common stock after the announcement is:
$20 per share.
Explanation:
Outstanding number of shares = 40 million
Market price of outstanding shares = $20 a share
Total market capitalization = $800 million
Debts introduced = $310 million
Market capitalization after the debt issue = $490 million ($800 - 310 million)
Number of shares bought back = $310 million /$20 = 15,500,000
Outstanding number of shares after the buy-back = 40 million minus 15.5 million
= 24,500,000 shares
Expected market price of the common stock after the announcement
= $490,000,000/24,500,000
= $20 per share
