• When asset is not completely depreciated.

What is the depreciation rate?
Ridley Energy Inc. is owned by a group of private investors. The firm earned $4,200,000 after taxes this year. With 1.2 million shares outstanding, earnings per share were $3.50. The stock has recently been trading at $80 per share among current shareholders. Four dollars of this value is attributed to investor anticipation of a cash dividend. As the financial manager of Ridley Energy, you are evaluating the alternative of repurchasing some company common stock by means of a tender offer at $80 per share. How much common stock could the firm repurchase if this alternative were selected?
