Answer #1

shares repurchased=(4*1000000)/57=70175 shares

new shares post shares repurchased=(4*1000000)-70175=3929825

net income after recapitalization=(11*1000000)-(4*1000000)*6%*(1-39%)=10853600

What will be the new earnings per share after the leverage recapitalization=10853600/3929825=2.76 (answer)
