The resulting price per share after new issuance will be $50
Solution:
Values:
Company shares = 158 million shares
Additional shares = 30 million shares
Market price = $50 per share
Evaluating:
Total value of equity prior to issue = Company shares * Market price
= 158 million * 50
= $7.9 billion
Value of share issue = Additional shares * Market price
= 30 million * 50
= $1.5 billion
Total value of equity after share issue = Total value of equity prior to issue + Value of share issue
= 7.9 billion + 1.5 billion
= $9.4 billion
Shares outstanding after share issue = Company shares + Additional shares
= 158 million + 30 million
= 188 million
Price per share after issue = [tex]\frac{Total value of equity after share issue}{Shares outstanding after share issue}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{9.4 billion}{188 million}[/tex]
= $50
