The answer is 261102.0 but i am not sure how...
The per share price is $59.
The company elects to distribute $2 million via a share repurchase.
This amount for share repurchase= $2*1000000=$2000000
Number of shares the company will be able to repurchase=Amount
available for repurchase/Per share price
=$2000000/$59=33898.30508 or 33898 (Rounded to nearest whole number
because shares are only purchased in whole numbers)
Currently, number of shares outstanding=295,000.
After repurchase, the number of shares outstanding will be=Number
of shares available initially-Number of shares repurchased
=295000-33898=261102
