Sagot :

Answer:

$9.37 per share

Explanation:

The computation of the average price per share is shown below:

Common stock in the year 2019 $830,200

Less Common stock in the year 2018 $620,600

Rise in common stock $209,600

Divided by Par value per share $0.40

Number of new common shares sold 524,000

Now  

Increase in capital surplus [$13,726,000 - $9,025,000 ] $4,701,000

Add:  Increase in common stock $209,600

Total proceeds from sale of new shares $4,910,600

Divided by Number of new common shares sold 524,000

Average price per share 9.37
