Problem:
Cash $43,700
Fixed assets $310,000
Total $353,700
Equity $353,700
Total $353,700
Suppose Chevelle has announced it is going to repurchase $12,600 worth of stock.
What effect will this transaction have on the equity of the firm?
How many shares will be outstanding?
What will the price per share be after the repurchase?
Ignoring tax effects, show how the share repurchase is effectively the same as a cash dividend. There are 9,000 shares outstanding.
