Marina CMI [18]

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
