Cost of Funds raised to company
Underwriting spread (800000*1.21) 968000
legal, administrative, and other costs [175000*800000/1125000] 124444
Cost of underpricing 2800000
Total cost of issue to firm 3892444

Amount of funds raised =Issue price *number of shares offered by firm

                              = 14.50*800000

                                = 11600000

total costs of the issue to the firm as a percentage of the funds raised = Total cost of issue to firm/Amount of funds raised

        = 3892444/11600000

            = 33.56%

**Total shares for allocation of Legal, administrative, and other costs between company and shareholders = 800000+325000 = 1125000 shares
