Answer 1

Answer:

$29.6 million per share

Explanation:

Additional share issued = (Issued and shares outstanding 2021 + Additional paid-in capital on common stock 2021) - (Issued and shares outstanding 2020 + Additional paid-in capital on common stock 2020)

Additional share issued = (110 million + 527 million) - (95 million + 394 million)

Additional share issued = 637 million - 489 million

Additional share issued = $148 million

Average price paid = Additional share issued / $5

Average price paid = $29.6 million per share
