    Answer: B. The shareholder can buy a maximum of 11 shares by paying $242

    Explanation:

    The company declares that for every 10 shares owned, the shareholder is qualified to buy a additional share, and for shares not up to 10, they can also be rounded up to buy an additional share.

    Since the shareholder already owns 107 shares and wishes to subscribe to the declaration, it means that he's qualified to buy

    107:10 = 10.7shares or 10, 7/10.

    Since any fraction can be rounded up to buy an additional share, the shareholder can buy 11 shares

    At $22 each

    The shareholder will pay $22 * 11 shares

    Which is $242.
