Answer: $41.4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that yesterday, Berryman Investments was selling for $145 per share and.that today, the company completed a 7-for-2 stock split.

If the total market value was unchanged by the split, the price of the stock today will be:

= $145 × 2/7

= $145 × 0.2857

= $41.4
