Question 16 • GHI Industries has net income of $3,700,000, and it has 1,285,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The company's stock currently trades at $40 a share. GHI is considering a plan in which it will use available cash to repurchase 10% of its shares in the open market. The repurchase is expected to have no effect on net income or the company's P/E ratio. What will be its stock price following the stock repurchase? (10 points) New Share Price = P/E Ratio x Earnings per Share = P/E Ratio x (Net Income/Shares) Note: P/E Ratio and Net Income do not change → Only shares change. P/E Ratio = Price per Share/Earnings per Share = 40/(3,700,000/1,285,000) = 40/2.88 = 13.89 Net Income = 3,700,000 New Shares = .90 x 1,285,000 = 1,156,500 New Share Price = 13.89 x (3,700,000/1,156,500) = $44.44
