A firm has 5,490 common shares outstanding with a total market value of $249,620. Currently, the firm has excess cash of $12,370 and net income of $19,970. If the firm uses all of its excess cash to repurchase the common shares, what will be the revised EPS after the stock repurchase is complete?
Market price per share will be repurchases price.
Current market price per share = Total market value/number of shares
=249620/5490
45.46812386
Repurchase price = 45.46812386
Number of shares repurchased = Excess cash/share price of repurchases
=12370/45.46812386
=272.0587293 or 272 shares
Shares held after repurchase = Outstanding shares - shares repurchased
=5490-272
=5218 shares
EPS after repruchase = Net income/shares held after repurchase
=19970/5218
=3.827136834
so revised EPS is $3.83
