Can star has 1000000 share outstanding and eps of $ 3 per share

Total earnings available to shareholdere = 3000000

Tax rate = 25%

EBIT = earnings /(1-tax)

= 3000000/.75

=4000000

Current market value =20$/share

P/E ratio =market value /eps

=20/3= 6.67 time

Company consider to making investment of 4 million which will increase EBIT by 20%

New earnings =4000000*1.2

New EBIT = 4800000$

Tax @25% =1200000

New eaes =3600000

No of share =1000000+(4000000/20)(new issues)

=1200000

Eps =eaes/no of share

=360000/12

= 3$/share

New price = Eps *pe ratio

=3*3.67

=20/sh

B ,new price is 18.5 share and underwriter spred 5% so net proceeds per share= (18.5*.95)=17.575

Total amount required = 4000000+200000(financing expenditure)

Additional equity to be issued =4200000/17.575

=239017

Total equity =1000000+239017

=1239017$

Eaes was 3600000 - fianace expense net of tax

=3600000 -150000-152500

=3297500

New ePS =3297500/1293017

=2.66$/share

Value of share = 2.66*6.67

=17.74 $/share

C) company share price fall slightly on announcement of new issues because due to flow of new share supply of share increase while demand isn't increase in that respect. Further if company announced new issues shareholders expectations increase and if expectations increase value decrease.
