Question

DRK, Inc., has just sold 100,000 shares in an initial public offering. The underwriter’s explicit fees were $60,000. The offering price for the shares was $40, but immediately upon issue, the share price jumped to $44. a. What is the total cost to DRK of the equity issue?

Answer 1

$460,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Number of shares sold = 100,000 shares

Explicit fees = $60,000

Offering price = $40

And, the increased share price = $44

Now the total cost of the equity issue is

= Number of shares sold × offering price per share + underwriter explicit fees

= 100,000 shares × $40 + $60,000

= $400,000 + $60,000

= $460,000
