Respuesta :

Answer:

$46.51

Explanation:

The weighted arithmetic mean can be defined as:

[tex]M = \frac{n1P1 + n2P2 +n3P3}{n1 +n2+n3}[/tex]

Where n is the number of shares and P is the share price, then:

[tex]M= \frac{50*104 + 100*25.25+ 20*9.125}{50+100+20} \\ M= \frac{7907.5}{170}\\M= 46.514[/tex]

Based on this, the weighted arithmetic mean price per share is $46.51
