问题如下:
Company M has 10 million shares of outstanding stock. Currently, the earning per share is $2.50. If Company M repurchases $50 million at the current share price of $25 per share by borrowing the funds at an after-tax cost of 8%, what`s the change in earning per share after the repurchase?
选项:
A. It would remain the same.
B. It would decrease.
C. It would increase.
解释:
C is correct.
考点:Share Repurchases
解析:M公司earnings yield = EPS/Share price = 2.5/25 = 10%,大于8%,因此回购完的EPS将会上升。
这道题的计算方法是earning=2.5*10-50*8%=21,no of share after repurchase =10-50/25=8,EPS =21/8=2.625>2.5吗?
