Pricing Stock Issues
Benjamin Garcia's start-up business is succeeding, but he needs $207,000 in additional funding to fund continued growth. Benjamin and an angel investor agree the business is worth $828,000 and the angel has agreed to invest the $207,000 that is needed. Benjamin presently owns all 37,000 shares in his business. Because the stock will be sold directly to an investor, there is no spread; the other flotation costs are insignificant.
What is a fair price per share? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer:
Total Value of Business = $828,000
Number of Outstanding share = 37,000

Fair Price per share is calculated below:
Fair price per share = $828,000/37,000

Hence, Fair Price per share is $22.38
b.
Company requires additional $207,000 for expansion.
Fair Price of stock = $22.38
So total number of Share Company should issue to raise $209,000 is calculated below:
Number of New share = $207,000/$22.38
=9250
Hence, total number of Share Company should issue to raise $207,000 is 9250.
