Answer: $3.70
Explanation:
Earnings per share = Net income / Number of shares
Net income = Earnings per share * Number of shares
= 3.57 * 53,000
= $189,210
The number of shares that Green Thumb bought back is:
= Stock repurchase amount / Market price of shares
= 117,000 / 63.57
= 1,840 shares
After the repurchase the number of shares is:
= 53,000 original shares - 1,840
= 51,160 shares
New EPS = 189,210 / 51,160
= $3.70
