answer 1
Share price at which shares sold = $5
number of shares = 3000000
Proceeds to underwriter = number of shares * sale price of shares
=3000000*5
=$15,000,000.00
Proceeds paid to Beedles = 14000000
out of pocket expenses = 400000
Net profit or loss = Proceeds to underwriting firm - proceeds paid to Beedles - out of pocket expenes
=15000000-14000000-400000
=$600,000.00
net profit to firm is $600,000.00
answer 2
Share price at which shares sold = $7
number of shares = 3000000
Proceeds to underwriter = number of shares * sale price of shares
=3000000*7
=$21,000,000.00
Proceeds paid to Beedles = 14000000
out of pocket expenses = 400000
Net profit or loss = Proceeds to underwriting firm - proceeds paid to Beedles - out of pocket expenes
=21000000-14000000-400000
=$$6,600,000.00
net profit to firm is $6,600,000.00
answer 3
Share price at which shares sold = $3.5
number of shares = 3000000
Proceeds to underwriter = number of shares * sale price of shares
=3000000*3.5
=$10,500,000.00
Proceeds paid to Beedles = 14000000
out of pocket expenses = 400000
Net profit or loss = Proceeds to underwriting firm - proceeds paid to Beedles - out of pocket expenes
=10500000-14000000-400000
=-$3,900,000.00
net profit or loss to firm is -$3,900,000.00 or loss of 3900000
