Question

The owners decide to take the company public through an IPO, issuing additional 1 million new shares. Assuming that they successfully complete the IPO, the net income for the next year is estimated to be $6 million. The price of shares is set using average price-earnings ratios for similar businesses of 15. What portion of the company will be owned by the angel investor after the IPO

Answer 1

15.79% = 300,000 stocks = $14,210,526

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, you are missing the following:

"The founders and owners of a private company have funded it through the following rounds of investment: Round Source Price Number of Shares Class A Self $1.00 200,000 Class B Angel $1.00 300,000 Class C Venture Capital $1.25 400,000"

total number of outstanding stocks after the IPO = 200,000 + 300,000 + 400,000 + 1,000,000 = 1,900,000

angel investors own 300,000 / 1,900,000 = 0.157895 = 15.79%

price earnings ratio = stock price / earnings per stock

EPS = net income / total outstanding stocks = $6,000,000 / 1,900,000 = $3.1579

15 = stock price / $3.1579

stock price = 15 x $3.1579 = $47.3684

angel investors own 300,000 stocks x $47.3684 = $14,210,526
