What is the price per share of equity under Plan II? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Check the following calculations

Explanation:

All-Equity Plan:

Number of shares = 15,000

Plan I:

Number of shares = 12,700

Value of debt = $109,250

Price per share = Value of debt / (Number of shares under All-Equity Plan - Number of shares under Plan I)

Price per share = $109,250 / (15,000 - 12,700)

Price per share = $109,250 / 2,300

Price per share = $47.50

Plan II:

Number of shares = 9,800

Value of debt = $247,000

Price per share = Value of debt / (Number of shares under All-Equity Plan - Number of shares under Plan II)

Price per share = $247,000 / (15,000 - 9,800)

Price per share = $247,000 / 5,200

Price per share = $47.50
