Answer 1

Missing question is "a. Compute the net proceeds to the Presley Corporation. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.) Net proceeds

b. Compute the earnings per share immediately before the stock issue. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Earnings per share

c. Compute the earnings per share immediately after the stock issue. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Earnings per share "

a. Net proceeds = Shares issued * Share price*(1-0.04) - Direct cost

Net proceeds = 500,000 * $25*(1-0.04) - $250,000

Net proceeds = 500,000*$24 - $250,000

Net proceeds = $12,000,000 - $250,000

Net proceeds = $11,750,000

b. EPS = Earnings / Shares

EPS = $7,000,000 / 2,000,000 shares

EPS = $3.50 per share

c. EPS = After tax earnings / Total shares

EPS = $7,000,000 / (2,000,000 + 500,000)

EPS = $7,000,000 / 2,500,000 shares

EPS = $2.80 per shares
