You want a seat on the board of directors of Four Keys, Inc. The company has 265,000 shares of stock outstanding and the stock sells for $76 per share. There are currently 5 seats up for election. If the company uses cumulative voting, how many shares do you need to guarantee that you will be elected to the board

Respuesta :

Answer:

44,167.67 shares

Explanation:

Given that

Number of shares of stock outstanding = 265,000

Sale value per share of stock = $76

Number of seat for election = 5

So by considering the above information, the number of shares needed by using the cumulative voting is

= {shares outstanding ÷ (number of seats + 1) + 1}

= {(265,000 shares ÷ (5 +1) +1}

= 44,167.67 shares
