Assume that company A wants to boost its stock price. The company currently has 13 million shares outstanding with a market price of $29 per share and no debt. A has had consistently stable earnings, and pays a 40% tax rate. Management plans to borrow $50 million on a permanent basis and they will use the borrowed funds to repurchase outstanding shares. If A can repurchase at the current price of $29 per share, what will the stock price be after the repurchase (keep two decimal places and assume that the new borrowing will not have any negative effects)?
