Howett Pockett, Inc., plans to issue 12.0 million new shares of its stock. In discussions with its investment bank, Howett Pocket learns that the bankers recommend a net proceed of $37.80 per share and they will charge an underwriter’s spread of 8.0 percent of the gross proceeds. In addition, Howett Pockett must pay $5.4 million in legal and other administrative expenses for the seasoned stock offering.

Explanation / Answer

12,000,000 x $37.80 = $453600000 = Total funds received by Howett Pockett

Legal and other admin expenses per share = $5400000/12000000 = $4.5

    Underwriter’s spread + Net proceeds = Gross proceeds

Underwriter spread=.08*Gross proceeds +4.5

Net proceeds=37.80

Gross proceed=.08*Gross proceeds + 4.5   + 37.80

Gross proceed=.08*Gross proceeds+42.30

Gross proceeds=45.97

Gross proceeds per share=45.97 per share

Total funds received from sale of 12 m shares=1200000*45.97=551640000
