This is a great table, and I've done it myself.

But I recommend doing it separately for A and B shares, since the 1500:1 economic interest ratio is not very representative of Berkshire's buyback preferences, which seem closer to something like 1540:1 these days.

i.e., a buyback at (say) $623000 per A seems to correspond to a willing buyback at around 623000/1540= $405 per B, not 623000/1500= $415 per B, based on the recent months that both A and B shares have been purchased.
