Solution
To calculate AMC's share price prior to the share repurchase, we need to first understand that the enterprise value is the total value of a firm, including its equity and debt, minus any cash. In this case, AMC has an enterprise value of 100 million in excess cash.
Step 1: Calculate the equity value Equity value = Enterprise value + Cash Equity value = 100 million = $500 million
Step 2: Calculate the share price Share price = Equity value / Number of shares outstanding Share price = 50 per share
So, AMC's share price prior to the share repurchase is $50.

To illustrate, assume the acquiring company purchases all of the stock of the investee for a purchase price of $1,100 (instead of $800, as in the previous example), with a cash payment of $600 and issu- ance of 100 shares of $1 par value common stock with a fair value of $500 ($5 per share). Assume the investor is willing to pay the increased purchase price because the building, reported on the investee’s balance sheet at a net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation) of $600, has a current fair value of $900. The purchase price of $1,100, then, is comprised of two conceptual components: the book value of the Stockholders’ Equity of the investee company plus the portion of the building’s value not reported on the investee’s balance sheet:
