Corporate Finance II: Financing Investments and Managing Risk | Online Course Support

Consider a company with net income equal to 2,500 and 1,000 shares outstanding so that earnings-per-share are equal to $ 2.5. Suppose that the company repurchases 40 shares at the current stock price of $60 a share. The company uses its own cash to conduct this stock repurchase. Because the company loses interest on cash balances, net income goes to 2,450 following the repurchase. What is the new level of earnings-per-share after the stock repurchase?
