Explanation / Answer

Today’s stock price P 0 = $525400 equity / 10,000 shares = $52.54

Amount of dividend paid = Dividend per share * Number of shares

= $1.70 * 10,000 share = $17,000

=No of share repurchage = $17,000 / $52.54 = 323.56 or 324 shares

Share outstanding = 10,000 - 324 = 9,676.

Price per share after repurchase = $525,400 / 9,676.

= $54.30 (aprrox.)
