Final answer:

The amount of increase per share is 2.375.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of increase per share, we need to subtract the initial price from the final price.

Initial price = 293/8 = 36.625

Final price = 312/8 = 39

Amount of increase per share = Final price - Initial price = 39 - 36.625 = 2.375

Therefore, the amount of increase per share is 2.375.
