Answer 1

Answer: 40.8824 million

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Dye Trucking raised $290 million in new debt and used this to buy back stock and that after the recap, Dye's stock price is $8.5.

If Dye had 75 million shares of stock before the recap, the number of shares that it'll have after the recap goes thus:

The number of shares repurchased is:

= $290million/$8.5

= 34,117,647

= 34.1176 million

Shares after the recap will now be:

= 75 million - 34.1176 million

= 40.8824 million
