Correct Answer: Option D) 10%, 220 000
Working:
The underpricing of the IPO issue can be calculated using,
Underpricing = ((Pm - P0) / P0) X 100
Where,
Parameters from the question :
Offering price, P0 = $100
Closing price on the first day of trading, Pm = $110
Substituting in the formula
Underpricing of winery = ((Pm - P0) / P0) X 100
Underpricing of winery = ((110 - 100) / 100) X 100
Underpricing of winery = (10 / 100) X 100
Underpricing of winery = 10%
The total market value of equity in the winery after the IPO,
The total market value of the equity = Total share outstanding X Price of stock at the end the first date
Substituting in the formula,
The total market value of the equity = (1000 + 1000) X 110
The total market value of the equity = (2000) X 110
The total market value of the equity = $ 220 000
