Expert Solution

(a) Percent ownership of venture that must be sold in order to provide the venture investor’s target return

Exit value required by investor = 750,000 * 1.45 ^ 5

=$ 4,807,300

Exit value of the firm = 15,000,000 * 0.5 = $ 7,500,000

Ownership required = $ 4,807,300 / $ 7,500,000

= 64.10%

(b) Number of shares to be issued to the new investor in order for the investor to earn his target return

No. of shares to be issued = 2,000,000 * [0.641 / 1-0.641)]

=3,570,565 shares

(c) Computation of issue price per share

  Issue price per share = Investment amount / No. of shares

= $750,000 / 3,570,565

= $0.21 per share

(d) Computation of pre-money valuation

Pre-money valuation = Post money valuation - Investment amount

= 1,170,101.56 - 750,000

= $ 420,101.56

(e) Computation of post-money valuation

  Post-money valuation = Investment amount / Ownership acquired

= 750,000 / 64.10%

= $1,170,101.56
