Explanation / Answer

a) Net amound raised = Net price x No. of shares + Fixed Cost

= 21.95 x 6,680,000 - 918,000 - 193,000 = $145,515,000

b) Total Direct cost = Direct Cost + (Issue Price - Net Proceeds) x No. of shares

= 918,000 + (23.8 - 21.95) x 6,680,000 = $13,276,000

c) Total Indirect Cost = Indirect cost + (Current Price - Issue Price) x No. of shares

= 193,000 + (30.31 - 23.8) x 6,680,000 = $43,679,800

d) Total Cost = $13,276,000 + $43,679,800 = $56,955,800

e) Flotation cost as a percentage = Total Cost / Amount = 56,955,800 / 145,515,000 = 39.14%
