Answer #1

Price to public = Current price - underpricing

= 75 - 8%*75 = $69

Net amount received by Company = 69 - 7%*69

= $64.17

Shares required to be sold = Amount required/Amount received per share

= 500,000,000/64.17

= 7,791,803.02 shares

i.e. 7,791,803 shares

Spread earned = 7,791,803*4.83 = $37,634,408.49

Yes
