Explanation / Answer

Price of each stock = market value of equity/number of shares outstanding = 373900/5000 = 74.78

number of stocks repurchased = 8000/74.78 = 106.98~107

number of stocks remaining after repurchase = 5000-107 = 4893

New stock price = market value of equity/number of shares outstanding = 373900/4893 = 76.415`76.42
