A company is planning to spend $15,814 for a share repurchase program. The company's current EPS is $1.35 per share. The current share price is $54.50 per share, and there are 2,616 common shares currently outstanding. Ignoring taxes, what is the company's P/E ratio immediately after the share repurchase has been completed?
Question 16 options:
32.3
33.2
34.1
35.0
35.9
Computation of P/E Ratio:
P/E Ratio = Price / Earning per Share after Repurchase
P/E Ratio = $54.50 / $1.52 = 35.90 times
Workings:
Total Earning Before Repurchase = $1.35 * 2,616 shares = $3,531.60
Number of Shares Repurchased = $15,814 / $54.50 = 290.17 or 290 shares
Number of shares after repurchase = 2,616 - 290 = 2,326 shares
New Earning per Share after Repurchase = $3,531.60 / 2,326 shares = $1.52
