    Total market value of shares = 1.25 billion x $20 = $25 billion

    Market value of shares after share repurchase = $25 billion - $5 billion

    = $20 billion

    No of shares after repurchase = Market value after repurchase

    Market price per share

    = $20 billion

    $20

    = 1 billion shares

    The correct answer is B

    Explanation:

    The total market value of shares is obtained by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the market price per share. The market value after repurchase is total market value of shares less value of shares repurchased. The number of shares outstanding after repurchase is the market value after repurchase divided by the market price per share.
