XYZ, Inc., has issued 13 million new shares of stock. An investment bank agrees to underwrite these shares on a best efforts basis. The investment bank is able to sell 10.3 million shares for $29 per share, and it charges XYZ $0.770 per share sold.

Explanation / Answer

Amount which XYZ receives = 10.3mill * 29 = $298,700,000,

Amount which the investment bank’s receives as fees (profit) = 10.3 mill * 0.77 = $7,931,000

The net proceeds after commission to XYZ is = amount received by XYZ - fee for investment bank = $ 290,769,000

The stock price is $29 per share since that is what the public pays.
