5 shareholders of a company have 1290, 2302, 9802, 3202, 7480 shares of the company, respectively. If the company announces a bonus of 2 shares for every 4 shares held, what will be the new average of the shares held by these shareholders? Correct Answer 7222.8

Let the shareholder name be a, b, c, d and e, respectively. Shares owned by each after the bonus: A: 1290 + 1290 / 4 * 2 = 1290 + 645 = 1935 B: 2302 + 2302 / 4 * 2 = 2302 + 1151 = 3453 C: 9802 + 9802 / 4 * 2 = 9802 + 4901 = 14703 D: 3202 + 3202 / 4 * 2 = 3202 + 1601 = 4803 E: 7480 + 7480 / 4 * 2 = 7480 + 3740 = 11220 Total shares held = 1935 + 3453 + 14703 + 4803 + 11220 = 36114 Average shares held = 36114 / 5 = 7222.8
