Notukula Ltd is deciding whether to pay out R90 000 in excess cash in the form of an extra dividend or a share repurchase. Current profits are R2,40 per share and the share sells for R20. The abbreviated balance sheet before paying out the dividend is:

Equity 240 000 Bank/cash 90 000

Debt 160 000 Other Assets 310 000

400 000 400 000

Evaluate each alternative (i.e: pay the dividend or repurchase the shares) by calculating:

1.1 Number of shares in issue (5)

1.2 Dividends per share (for the first alternative, i.e. pay the dividend) (3)

1.3 New share price (7)

1.4 Earnings per share (5)
