18-1: Benjamin Garcia's start-up business is succeeding, but he needs $600,000 in additional funding to fund continued growth. Benjamin and an angel investor agree the business is worth $1,000,000 and the angel has agreed to invest the $600,000 that is needed. Benjamin presently owns all 20,000 shares in his business. What is a fair price per share and how many additional shares must Benjamin sell to the angel? Because the stock will be sold directly to an investor, there is no spread; the other flotation costs are insignificant.
Fair price per share:
= Value of business / No. of shares
= $1,000,000 / 20,000 shares
Therefore, Fair Price Per Share = $50
Additional shares that Benjamin must sell to the angel:
= Additional Investment Value / Fair Price Per Share
= $600,000 / $50
= 12,000 shares
