Underwriting spread = $

Step-by-step explanation:

the total proceeds from the common-stock sale= shares issued X offer price

5,000,000 X 27.90 = 139,500,000

Net proceeds to firmshares issued X (offer price-underwriting fees) 5,000,000 X (27.90-2.4)

=127,500,000

Underwriting spreads= spread issued X underwriting fees per share

5,000,000 X 2.4

=12,000,000
