Answer:
178,750 average shares
Explanation:
The computation of the maximum permitted sale is shown below:
But before that we need to find out the total volume which is
= nov 14 trading volume + nov 7 trading volume + oct 31 trading volume + oct 24 trading volume
= 185,000 shares + 165,000 shares + 175,000 shares + 190,000 shares
= 715,000 shares
Now
maximum permitted sale is
= 715,000 shares ÷ 4
= 178,750 average shares
