Sixty-second Avenue Inc. expects to earn $5,700,000 this year. The company currently has 790,000 shares outstanding, and the shares have a per-share market price of $21. Assuming that Sixty-second Avenue’s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio remains constant and its earnings are unaffected by a share repurchase transaction, then the company’s expected market price per share—if it repurchases 90,000 shares at the current market price—should be

The company's expected market price per share After the repurchase would $23.68

Explanation:

In order to calculate the company's expected market price per share After the repurchase we would have to calculate first the Price-to-earnings ratio ( P/E ratio ) as follows:

Price-to-earnings ratio ( P/E ratio )= Market price per share / Earnings per share

Earnings per share = Earnings/ number of shares outstanding =$ 5,700,000 / $790,000 = $ 7.21

Therefore, Price -to-earnings ratio = $ 21 / $ 7.21 = 2.91

If 90,000 shares are repurchased, Therefore Earnings per share =$ 5,700,000 / $700,000 = $ 8.14

Therefore, the company's expected market price per share After the repurchase=$ 8.14 x 2.91 = $23.68
