Founders currently hold 1,000,000 million shares of stock. The venture is expected to produce $500,000 in net income in year 5. A similar firm with annual net income of $1,000,000 sold shares to the public for $10,000,000. What is the number of shares that must be issued to the new investor in order for the investor to earn his target return?
