Respuesta :

Answer:

Market cap = 28.825 million

Stock price = $25

Explanation:

Current outstanding shares = 1,250,000

Current price per share = $25

So, ECB current market cap = 1,250,000 × $25 = $31,250,000

Repurchase shares = 97,000

So repurchase value = 97,000 × $25 = $2,425,000

Hence, Market capitalization after repurchase = current market cap - repurchase value

= $31,250,000 - $2,425,000 = 28,825,000 or 28.825 million

Stock price = $25
