Stock Repurchase is refers to the mechanism through which company buy backs its own shares. When the shares are repurchased the number of shares that an investor holds reduces and his cash balance increases by the amount of purchase.

Part a.

PC is regularly paying a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share. If the company instead of paying dividend announces the buyback of $10,000 market value stock.

Compute the effect on the wealth of the shareholder who holds 100 shares and sells 1 of the shares in the following manner:

Market value of shares =100 × $50

Market value of shares = 55,000

Before repurchasing, the total value of the shares for the investor is $5,000

After repurchasing, for 1 share repurchased, the company will pay him $50.

Compute the value of the remaining shares in the following manner.

Market value of remaining shares = Remaining shares x Price after repurchase

Substitute $50 for price after repurchasing and 100 - 1 = 99 for remaining number of shares.

Market value of remaining shares = Remaining shares × Price after repurchase

Market value of remaining shares = 99 × $50

Market value of remaining shares = $4950

The total wealth of the shareholder after the repurchase is $4,950 + $50 =$5,000

Part b.

There would be no effect because the share price would remain at $50 irrespective of whether the company repurchases the shares or offers dividend.

The only difference is that the total market capitalization of the company would be reduced to $990,000 (19,800 shares at 50 per share) in case of repurchase as against the market capitalization of $1,000,000 (20,000 shares at 50 per share) in case of issuing dividend.

However, this is not important since the market price per share remains the same.

An employer who is considering hiring eva has asked donna, eva’s former supervisor, for a report on eva. in truth, eva’s work for donna has been only average. however, eva is donna’s friend, and donna knows that eva probably will not get the job if she says anything negative about eva, and donna knows that eva desperately needs the job. further, donna knows that if the situation were reversed, she would not want eva to mention her deficiencies. nevertheless, it has been donna’s policy to reveal the deficiencies of employees when she has been asked for references by employers, and she knows that some of eva’s faults may be bothersome to this particular employer. finally, this employer has leveled with donna in the past when donna has asked for a report on people who have worked for him. should donna reveal deficiencies in eva’s past performance? (remember to use one of the three moral theories acceptable for this test to solve this dilemma. any discussion of any personal opinion, religious perspective, or theory other than the moral theories acceptable for this test will result in a score of "0" for this question.)
